Only 11 songs in this CD, Polygram of USA is not generous to consumer. As one reviewer stated, there are rooms for more songs. I can easily named some of these, such as 'Remember When', 'You never never know', 'Enchanted' and 'I'll never smile again' etc. Here I would like to recommend another Platters' CD titled "Universal Masters Collection [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [IMPORT]", which is the best sounding Platters CD I've heard (I've already owned 4 greatest hits CDs of The Platters). This [Import] CD is the only one you can find stereo versions (genuine stereo) of 'Smoke gets in your eyes', 'Twilight Time', 'I'll never smile again', 'Harbour Lights' and 'Red sails in the Sunset', plus 'I'm just a dacing partner','I give you my word', all 17 songs in one CD which is preferable to this 11 songs collection.

The Best of The Platters did'nt have the songs on it that the LP
had back in the fifties.But it has most of the ones that I like.
The cd is worth the price and the wait.

I LISTEN TO THIS C.D. WITH MY EYE'S CLOSED AND I AM TRANSPORTED BACK TO JR. HIGH SCHOOL WITH FIRST LOVES AND CRUSHES AND THE SOCK HOP'S IN THE GYM AT LUNCH HOUR IF YOUR A TEEN OF THE 50'S(OR YOUR PARENT'S ARE) DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND RUSH OUT AND PURCHASE THIS ALBUM! YOU JUST CANNOT FIND THIS KIND OF MUSIC ANYMORE, WHAT A SHAME THAT CHILDREN TODAY CANNOT ENJOY IT!AS WE DID

The greatest group of the 50s, the Platters combined a tremendous lead singer whose talents bordered on the operatic, great harmonizing, and tremendous musicality to produce some of the best songs ever recorded, most of which are captured here including the immortal The Great Pretender and the wonderful (and controversial at its time, in fact Cole Porter's estate sued to block it) Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. The crescendo at the end of that song has got to be one of the most creative and thrilling moments of all pop music. My only complaint, and it is with this series as a whole, is that with all the room on a CD only 11 songs are included. There are other Platters CDs with up to 20 songs and this one would have been all that much better had some other tunes been included.

If you are seeking GENUINE PLATTERS this is the one. The top 6 best known all time Platters' tunes are here, along with 5 other great though lesser known cuts. This is the ORIGINAL music, and it is delightful.

These Voices are Soulful&Pure Thru Out This Set.the songs speak for themselves some of the Greatest songs ever Recorded.Pure Bliss&a TimeLess Quality.

If you were born after December 31, 1959, buy it. If you were born before December 31, 1959, WHY ASK!

If you were born after 1945, get it. If you were born before 1945, why ask. Corinna
