Two of the best from the Como stock - These two albums were released last year in Japan with bonus tracks - both still available on Amazon and well worth the purchase. When I saw that the Oldies label were going to produce them as a 2on1 my heart sank. The Oldies label have released many Como albums but too many of the Cd s were produced from garage-sale LP s and would have been better off not being released. However, something must have happened at Sony/BMG because this 2on1 is superb!!!! I got my Cd this morning and it is beautifully remastered. The notes on the back of the CD tell me it is the work of DB Studios in New York - when I checked out their website I could see why this Como release from Oldies would differ - DB seem to know exactly how to remaster , whether from LP or original source I cannot say - but the effect is excellent.The Scene Changes features the best of the 60 s Nashville musicians - Boots Randolph, Floyd Cramer,Anita Kerr and Chet Atkins. Perry so easily adapted to the Nashville sound and to me it is perfection. Lightly Latin also captured Como s pure and honest approach to a lyric - this album contains to me the definitive version of Meditation - a classic interpretation of this Jobim song.So at last Oldies have done justice to the Como catalogue - I wish they could go back to the other CD s and let DB Studios press them!!!!!
