Customer Reviews:

An imperfect but must-have collection for Wonder Years fans.......2003-09-28

This 5-CD collection of songs from The Wonder Years and the era in which the show was based is a must-have for devoted Wonder Years fans. It is easy to find fault with some of the tracks collected here, and some of the show's most important, memorable music is absent, yet this collection does bring back vivid memories of the good times spent with Kevin, Paul, and Winnie while continuing to touch hearts with some of its more impressive offerings. You get 50 songs in all, 10 of which are exquisite Snuffy Walden compositions written specifically for the show - these tracks, much more than the top 40 type songs making up the remainder of the album, are the real magic key to some of the best of times from The Wonder Years. Among the most notable tracks to be found in this collection are My Girl by the Temptations, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by the Platters, Ain't No Mountain High Enough and Someday We'll Be Together by Diana Ross & the Supremes, The Tears of a Clown and The Tracks of My Tears by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, and With a Little Help From My Friends and You are So Beautiful by Joe Cocker. An eclectic mix of contemporary songs rounds out the remainder of the musical selections, and these can be hit or miss at times.

All Wonder Years fans could write volumes asking why certain songs were not included on these albums. My own list of the tracks that should be here but are not would begin with In My Life by Judy Collins, When a Man Loves a Woman by Percy Sledge, I'm a Believer by The Monkees, Tell It Like It Is by Aaron Neville, and There's a Kind of Hush by Herman and the Hermits. Episode 37, "St. Valentine's Massacre," is in my opinion the most important episode in the show's five-year run, yet two critical songs (Jimmy Ruffin's What Becomes of the Broken Hearted and the Marvin Gaye-Tammi Terrell duet You're All I Need to Get By) from that greatest of episodes are not here, and that's a shame. I could go on and on, as could any fan. In the end, though, we must feel blessed by what we have rather than moan about what we lack, and there truly are some great classic songs in this set that will have extra special meaning to those who considered The Wonder Years as not only a favorite television series but a part of our very lives.

Essential Wonder Years.......2002-02-13

Even if you've never seen The Wonder Years, then these CD's are worth it for the music, from the tingling MY GIRL from The Temptations to the origional music there is something for everybody. Anybody over 35/40 will enjoy the classics of the era. If you've followed the TV series then you can almost see the scenes played out whilst listening to the music. There are some great songs missing like Percy Sledge - When a man loves a woman and Bob Segar - We've got tonight.
Buy this and you won't be dissapointed

Don't be fooled by 5 CD Box Set.......2002-01-15

Don't be fooled by the advertised 5 disc box set. Each disc contains an average of 29 minutes of music. This "Box Set" could have easily been condensed to 2 discs. There are repeated selections of "Original Music From The Wonder Years" throughout all five discs. The same "Original Music" is on every disc!

While the song list is impressive and welcomed, the recording quality is poor. It sounds like the label, "LaserLight Digital", did this "on the cheap." Some of the songs sound like they were transfered from a used LP, with pops & scratches. I was astounded at how poorly this set sounded.

I liked "The Wonder Years" and hoped that this soundtrack would reflect the quality of the show. The song selection did. However, as with the poor reviews concerning the quality of the DVD & VHS copies of the show (also produced by LaserLight Digital), the public is being short-changed with this collection.

For those wanting a similar collection of songs from the same time period, I would recommend the soundtrack to "Forrest Gump."

NOSTALGIC HEAVEN.......2001-11-10

This was the one show on TV,in Ireland, in recent years that my wife, sons,daughters & I would watch as family. I being a child of the 60's could connect with the story line and needless to say the music was magic. However until I heard these CD's I had overlooked the 'Snuffy' Walden instrumental music ,which I now realise is so thematic and is very memorable. The other issue here was that Kevin was so like my youngest son and we could identify a local girl with Winnie. He was teased something terrible about this and still likes to think of himself as Kevin -whenever the reruns are on TV . As he turns 21 in a few weeks I will no doubt slip in some of the WY music to his party list !
A real memory spinner for people who enjoyed the little bit of weekly escapism that (was) is the WY's.

Wow, man. I'm back in the 70's!.......2001-04-21

Oh my... that really took me back to my youth. I loved it so much. Every day, when I'm working in my shed, I listen to that CD and think a little about all those years I've left behind. I really do miss them. Times have changed since I was a young wee gal, they've changed alot. I'm sure everyone would agree that a chance to have your youth back is a chance to take! Buy this CD, and you'll go back thirty years!

Great sound quality and liner notes...but lousy box set idea.......2002-08-01

My guess being that Laserlight specializes in budget-line CD releases was what prompted them to create 5 individual short (12 song) titles by the Turtles and sell them each individually. The confusion is: why did Laserlight wait for unreleased material to show up first then release the box set at a discount long before releasing the titles individually, plus why on earth was Laserlight choosen in the first place as the company to release this Turtles "Anthology"? Don't get me wrong...there's plenty of great stuff here at a great price. And the fact that a Turtle lover like me could finally get those unreleased gems was a definate plus. I just wish my box set was parred down to 2 or 3 jam-packed discs with the songs in chronological order instead of the chopped up, haphazard way Laserlight chose to do it.

More Turtles than you'll ever need.......2000-05-03

My CD collection has grown to more than 2500 over the last 16 years. Back in 1984, the Rhino 20 Greatest Hits was one of the first CDs I ever bought. It still holds up as a great collection and is probably all the Turtles most will ever need. However, if 20 Turtles cuts is not enough for you, then is a good collection with detailed notes and good remastering (Rhino's 16 year old remastering seems to sound just as good). These 60 songs could easily fit on three discs and have been less cumbersome, but that is picking nits. Can't complain about the price. Sixty songs for 20 bucks, 33 cents per song. Also, there are quite a few unreleased cuts from their unreleased last album, and other curios.

If it's just the great stuff you want to hear, though, the Rhino collection is still the best buy.

Boo freakin ya.......2000-03-10

Me thinks dat dis CD box set blows the doors of such no name bands as AHHA, Lovin' Spoonful, and the legendary Smokin' Popes. Once again I would like to say BOO YAH

Turtle-rrific tunes........1999-05-15

Following the liner notes with each song was cool. As little insider tidbits,the notes,with the songs,painted a fair picture of the times and trials of Turtledom. If you Turtle at all, this set is a Command-BUY!

Customer Reviews:

60 Years of German Hits.......2001-05-16

The album "60 Jahre Deutscher Schlager," is a three (3) CD musical history of German pop and easy listening hits from 1930 to 1989. Many of the artists are well known to American music lovers. The list includes such famous artists as: Marlene Dietrich, Lale Andersen, Freddy Quinn, Pola Negri, Lolita, Roy Black and Peggy March. Students of the German language will find the songs a great way to improve their language skills. The album covers songs from the North Sea to the Alps. The recordings are from the original pressings. The quality of the recordings are excellent. Load up all three CD's and sit back and enjoy some of the best vocals to come down the pike in a long time.

German music for all generations.......2000-01-28

This boxed set is very good, and covers german music from many era's. My vavorite however was the last cd that covered the 1980's German pop music. A good investment, very little umpa music here!
