A Trip Back in Time.......2007-06-08

Great reproduction of these old and beloved tunes. A real bargain with three cds, sixty songs at the price of one. His famous tune "If I Only Had A Match" is worth the price. This truly is "A Trip Back in Time".

Jolson fan.......2007-06-05

Al Jolson was a phenomenal success as an entertainer during the vaudville years and in early films (app 1915-1935). He had a voice and style that was youthful and energetic. This was the hallmark of the great Al Jolson. You get very little of that Jolson in this boxed set. Most of the songs (47 in this set of 60) were from recordings made in the late '40's after his film biographies. The voice is an octave lower than the original Jolson voice and the style is a bit tired. Add a third star if you like the songs. But if you want to hear the style and voice that made Jolson great you'll find very little of it in this set.

"Golden Years of Al Jolson" presents the listener with a good overview of the work of the great Al Jolson.
The sound quality of these CDs is first-rate.
Many of these tracks don't appear to be the original hits but they are very well done and a real pleasure to listen to.
Jolie even teams up with Bing Crosby for a couple of tunes!

The product was in excellent condition. Al Jolsen's singing is so clear and beautiful. It is like he is singing for you in the same room. It's fun to listen to the old songs. It's songs are in a whole different century. I think some of the songs have funny words in them. They make you laugh and feel good. If you want to hear real talent, buy this. You will never hear a voice like this before. "A MAN WHO LOVED TO SING"!

A Must Have Item for any Al Jolson Fan.......2006-06-19

I was so pleased to receive this item as a gift for Fathers Day. This 3CD Deluxe Edition contains many of the songs I have listened to from The Jolson Story and Jolson Sings Again, but are in there original presentations free from the Movie makers arrangements to compliment the story line. It was so refreshing to hear such a crisp and clear delivery from the Legendary Al Jolson accompanied with outstanding instrumentals. Many of Al's early works are included in this set, but with outstanding clarity. I have heard some of his early deliveries and the sound quality wasn't very good when reproduced on a CD. I was very impressed with all of the sound reproductions included in this outstanding 3CD set. If you are an Al Jolson Fan, you will certainly do yourself a huge disservice if you do not purchase this item. It is the best set of Al Jolson recordings that I have ever heard.
