Delta, and its associated label Bygone Days, is fast establishing a reputation for well-packaged low-cost CDs, and this is no exception. The tracklist is set out in full on Amazon.UK from which it can be seen that the composers are all from the top drawer, and the vocalists are mostly American (with the exception of Shirley Bassey and Cliff Richard). My one reservation is that given the status of these recordings the tracklist should not be confined to title, vocalist and composer. It should show at least the accompaniment, year of recording, and if appropriate the film or show for which it was it was written. But everything else about it, including sound quality, is excellent and at the asking price I'd be looking a gift horse in the mouth to award less than five stars.

This brand new compilation has a running time of approx 190 minutes and for 60 tracks and a realistic selling price this is great value. The songs many of them classics of the standards era sound great and have been nicely transferred. The packaging says over 50 songs but as you can see there are in fact 60 songs by many of the great song writers and performed by many of the great singers. The selections do acknowledge artists right up to the start of the 1960s with Cliff Richard being the most obvious. No liner notes. Nicely packaged with slimline case. Part of a series of CD sets from Delta.
