A bit ho-hum.......2007-03-23

Only really stunning good song is "Guantanamera." A lot to pay for one song but it's the only way to get the Sandpipers version.

The Sandpipers: cool tones and gentle rhythms.......2007-01-16

The Sandpipers, with their cool tones and gently pulsating rhythms, remained successful even when the principle focus of the music industry changed to rock and roll. They possessed to ability to touch hearts and minds with their songs; and they sang flawlessly in English, Spanish, French and Italian. Wow.

The CD consists of all the tracks from two of their record albums entitled Guantanamera and The Sandpipers. The CD begins with the classic Latin song "Gauntanamera." I agree with the reviewer who writes that they deliver this song flawlessly and their rendition of this song alone is worth the price of admission. Other very well done Spanish songs on this CD include "La Bamba" and "Enamorado." The Sandpipers do an especially good job of singing "Michelle" in both Spanish and French. Impressive!

"Stasera Gli Angeli Non Volano (For The Last Time)" is performed very well in Italian by The Sandpipers; the musical arrangement is beautiful. Indeed, their enchanting vocals and arrangements make the classic children's song "Inch Worm" evolve into an infamous masterpiece. Bravo!

Other touching songs on this CD include "Try To Remember" from The Fantasticks; "Strangers In The Night;" "The French Song" and "I'll Remember You."

The quality of the sound is excellent and the liner notes provide copies of the reverse of the record album jackets for both record albums. There are sharp pictures of The Sandpipers as well.

The Sandpipers made an indelible mark on the music industry that even rock and roll combined with time cannot erase. Their music remains soothing, passionate and pensive after all these years. Fans of the oldies, 1960s "mood music" and classic pop vocals will cherish this CD.

One of My Favorite CDs.......2006-11-25

I first discovered The Sandpipers in the mid to late '60s and fell in love with their soft, harmonious melodies. It's amazing how effortlessly (and beautifully) they transition from English to French to Spanish. On this blended CD, I love every song but particularly 'For Baby', (The Sandpipers were singing Denver songs before the rest of the world even knew his name), 'The French Song', 'What Makes You Dream Pretty Girl?', 'It's Over', 'Inch Worm' and 'Michelle'... and who else could make 'Louie, Louie' sound like a love song? It's wonderful!

An Underated Group and who is Pamela Ramcier?.......2006-11-11

I am glad compilations of the Sandpipers finally have made it to digital. I own 6 of their LPs (true vinyl). The only reason I did not give this double album 5 stars is because it would have been a fantastic double set (5+ stars) if they had combined the albums "Guantamamera" and "Softly". The LP "Softly" is solid if you are a Sandpipers fan and contains three awesome songs Suzanne, To Put Up With You, and I think the their most beautiful song of all Cancion De Amor (Wanderlove). I am in full agreement with Hess, in why did they not include their female vocalist, which was probably a big mistake. I also wish Pamela Ramcier (and or possibly the other female vocalist(s)) had been given bigger parts. Some of their best songs often included the beautiful contrast of Pamela's voice with her male counterparts. In Cancion De Amor (Wanderlove) she comes in about two-thirds the way through the song weaving a hauntingly beautiful melody. To answer the question is the blonde woman on the album cover "The Sandpipers" Pamela Ramcier, I wish I new. However, of the 6 LPs I have in my collection, four ("The Sandpipers Softly", "Guantanmera", "The Sandpipers", and "Misty Roses, the Wonder of you") have photos of women on the cover, and I believe they are all different. Hopefully someone can solve the mystery and come up with a photo of Pamela Ramcier.

Customer Reviews:

It is a great CD.......2001-03-22

I get this item and I can say is great, if you really want to get an idea about the vienna boys choir's work, you have to get this, you can admire the soloist voice, Emanuel Cencic, he has an outstanding voice, principally the track "let the bright querubin" but in general is a great compilation, you can stop listening.

Found it to lack real depth.......2000-01-12

The songs are nice and the music pleasant to listen to, but the titles are fairly short and there is something missing. I just didn't find it to be very moving, perhaps it's just the recording.

John P. Cutler.......1999-12-29

This CD covers a wide range of music.The Vienna Boys Choir have done another great job. I believe this CD is a great choice, one that You will be happy with.

Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

Joseito Fernandez's "Guajira Guantanamera" is an ode to a beautiful girl from the countrified Guantanamo province in eastern Cuba. It's the island's unofficial national anthem, and it is the signature track from these 15 selections culled from Cuba's famous Egrem label. Celina Gonzalez's "Guarapo, Pimienta y Sal¡" and Inocente Iznaga's "Caminito De Zaza¡" represent the infectious son rhythm that sprang the Oriente Province. That region's elegant Franco-Haitian Charanga Francesa orchestral timbres also gave birth to the danzon, along with the cha cha cha heard on Orquesta Melodias Del 40's "Me Voy Pa¡ Moron¡" and Orquesta Aragon's "El Bodeguero." The legendary vocalist Beny More and the fabulous conjunto ensemble, the Riverside Orchestra, with jazz/big band-friendly tracks "Santa Isabel De Las Lajas" and "La Guarapachanga," prove that this music can be as American as apple pie and as sweet as Cuban rum. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Lacking Lyrics.......2006-07-16

So many people have brought up the mary jane in one of the songs, that I just thought I'd mention -- not all of the songs on this CD even HAVE lyrics. The first two, for example, are instrumentals.

Oh my! Dirty song! Dirty song!.......2004-10-16

They say "marijuana" on here! That's all you need to know! These people are obviously terrorists! They're murderous drug fiends! They want to destroy America! Run! Hide!

Hey but at least the cockroach isn't shaking her fake boobies and thrusting her pierced belly button in your face, eh?

But anyhow, never ever share your marijuana with a baby. They are total bogarts.

Drug name is being mentioned in one of the lyrics.......2004-08-06

The quality of the music is good. However, there are several mistakes in the origin of some songs. For instance, Guantanamera is from Cuba, not from Spain. The Brazilian song (Es Para Ti) is not from Brazil. But the worst thing is the version of that popular Mexican song, 'La Cucaracha'.

The lyrics are saying the following:

La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
ya no puede caminar,
porque le falta, porque no tiene
marihuana pa' fumar.

The English translation for that would be:

The cockroach, the cockroach
can no longer walk
because she doesn't have
marijuana to smoke.

Do you mothers honestly think that this is the kind of vocabulary we'd like our kids to learn, and dance to?

I don't think that's precisely the vocabulary that we'd like young kids and babies to learn. And it's sad that companies are selling products that are not being reviewed before sending them to the market. People that doesn't have the ability of understanding foreign languages cannot understand what's being said in the song. I bought the CD for a friend's of mine's little boy. My friend doesn't speak Spanish, but she was still able to understand that marijuana was being mentioned. As I do speak Spanish as first language, she asked me to confirm her what she thought she understood. I felt very embarrased when I found out that she was right.

It's a shame. I'd not recommend anyone to buy these CD, at least not for kids.

leave la cucaracha out.......2004-06-22

I am a mother of two and an early childhood educator so I listen to a lot of children's music. I gave this CD a rating of four stars because though it has wonderful beats on it and seems to be diverse i feel the company should have left "la Cucaracha" from MEXICO out of this cd or changed the words to be more child appropriate. There is a verse in this song that repeats various times that references smoking marijuana. My children are both bilingual in english/spanish and think "the wiggles" version of this song is funny. I feel as if the song promotes drug use and is not a positive value that i would like to instill in my child or others.

A wonderful CD for your nursery!.......2002-05-06

As a first time parent I want to give my child every advantage I can. Studies have shown that playing music to your child helps to enhance their learning ability.

I saw "Baby's First" cd series and as they were so affordable I decided to go ahead and buy them without hearing them first.

My decision has been rewarded! The cd's are very good, and provide hours of music to stimulate my babies mind.

Buy this CD today, you won't be disappointed, and neither will your youngsters! :)

A rare find for lovers of Guarani music.......2007-01-12

At a time when the unparalleled melodious and harmonic traditional Paraguayan music is frequently adulterated by modern sounds and instruments, this CD provides balm to the ears of aficionados of the magic of Guarani tunes with traditional renditions of classics such as Mis Noches Sin Ti, Mi Dicha Lejana, Paraguay, Nostalgia, India and Marinerito De Mi Patria.
