PERRY BEFORE THE LP ERA

As usual with that collection,you've got your money's worth.Most early hits are collected here, plus many wonderful versions of famous songs like LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME(one of the most recorded songs in history)and IF I LOVED YOU from CAROUSEL and BODY AND SOUL.You'll notice that PERRY sings the lyrics clearly;you absolutely hear every word of each song.While THE VERY BEST OF remains the best buy if you want only one cd of him,this is certainly not a waste of your money.If your a fan,you'll like this collection to stand alongside the ones of FRANK's COLUMBIA records and also DICK HAYMES,probably the best crooner of the time.Mister COMO had class,and if he recorded dubious novelty songs once in a while,only RCA should be blamed.
