5.0 out of 5 stars Music to remember
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2017

If you like the music from the 50s-60s and a lots of sax, then Billy Vaughn is for you. The music takes me back to places I've been and things I've done. It is mellow and you can just sit back and enjoy. The sound quality is excellent and the selection of songs couldn't be better. I would highly recommend this for anyone who likes "old school" instrumentals. For young people who have never heard of many of the musicians who were popular both in the US and Europe in the 50-early 70 time frame. This is your chance to hear some real music.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed bag
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2014

If you like instrumentals this is the cd for you. The set contains 4 discs which has 8 complete albums. My least favorite is disc one. It was recorded in 1955 and 1957 and is a bit to dreary sounding for me. Billy hadn't started what I call the "Billy Style" with double saxophones . When I first heard one of his recordings with this sound I was hooked. It was his style alone and once you heard it you would know a Billy Vaughn record at once. Disc two was recorded in 1958 and is my favorite from this set. It contains his hit Sail Along Silv'ry Moon. Disc 3 starts with his Christmas album and ends with Blue Hawaii and other songs from the island. They were recorded in 1958 and 1959. Disc 4 starts with the "Billy Style" on cover versions of mostly 50's songs and sounds great. He returns with mostly full orchestra for the end of the album. These two were recorded in 1959 and 1960. Of course the full stereo versions sound better but keep in mind that stereo wasn't even invented yet when Billy first started to record. Quite a mixed bag but a good mixed bag.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mi Papá feliz... disco de colección.
Reviewed in Mexico on July 21, 2017

Son el equivalente de 8 discos LP en cuatro CDs . Se incluyen discos de sus años de inicio y sus grandes éxitos. Para los amantes de la música de orquesta será un regalo muy apreciado que traerá bellos recuerdos de épocas doradas. Mi Papá muy feliz, lo escucha constantemente y repite las canciones que más le gustan. La calidad de grabación es magnífica. un disco casi imposible de conseguir en México, en tiendas. Por lo que es una gran ventaja poder tenerlo con Amazon.

Reviewed in Japan on March 25, 2016

1枚目の1～12は、懐古的なスローワルツが主流です。超イージーリスニングマニアの私が驚いたのは一曲目のmelody Of loveが前奏なしでいきなり始まることでした。ビリーボーンのデビュー曲としていきなり大勝負に出たなと完全に打ちのめされました。もう甘いメロディの曲の連続でたまりません。13～24はガラリとオーケストラ色が強くなり、ビリーボーンのサックスがフレディ ガードナーのように心に染み渡ります。二枚目は全体にジャズ色が強く、一般的な人々に知られているビリーボーンのイメージそのものの演奏のオンパレードです。三枚目の1～14はオーケストラ色のある演奏で、これ、本当にビリーボーン？と思ってしまいます。15～28は、二枚目のビリーボーンのイメージそのものでハワイアン特集です。ビリーボーン イコール ハワイ 海がとても似合いますね。私が好きなのは23のビョン ザ リーフです。ハワイアンズと言えばバッキー白片のスチールギターの右に出る者はいませんが、ビリーボーンの演奏はまた全く違う味わいで本当にのんびりのんびりさせてくれます。4枚目の1～12はサックスがこれでもか！と前面に表れ、完全に主役です。13～24はオーケストラ色に更にエレガントさとおしゃれ感が加わり、これ本当にビリーボーンなの？と錯覚してしまいます。
