This is the second in the minutely anthologized English recordings by Connie Francis by Germany's Bear Family Records. Connie was actively involved in both volumes of this project. This was the second of two sets and it only covers a year and a half of her career. At this time (1960-62) Connie was at the very height of her popularity and extremely proflific in her output. This is also another Lp size 5 CD box set with a tremendously large and informative booklet that includes detailed recording sessions for each song and loaded with great photos. There are many unreleased tracks and rare outtakes and also includes the original Lp "Connie Francis Sings Academy Award Hits" that was released only in Australia and is far superior to the recording that was released worldwide. The final recording was too slick and commercial sounding and not as effective. This is worth the price of this large box set alone. After this 1996 release, Bear Family stopped annotating Connie's career (they had planned after all the English language songs were released, they had planned over covering all her foreign language recordings). For reasons unknown, the project unfortunately came to a halt. This is a very detailed with quality sound and the love and care for this anthology is very evident. A real must have. Let's hope after ten years, Bear Family will complete this wonderful project.Read full review
