A superb collection for the Manilow fan! - I bought this collection for my mom at Christmas. I find that I m stealing it away from her to listen to it. It s a wonderful collection. The packaging is beautiful too, right down to the retrospective booklet included. If you re a Manilow fan, you ll want to get this collection. It includes remastered songs, live tracks, conversations, and a DVD.
Excellent for the Manillow collector - I bought this as a gift for someone who just loves Barry, not my choice as a musician but for the person who likes him, they will adore this set. Was an excellent gift for the price.
Barry Manilow Box Set - Fantastic collection of his hits many I knew about and many more that I had no idea that they had ever been recorded or existed. A great buy and one I have enjoyed very much in addition to the DVD which included some great clips of some classic performances
Great for any Manilow fan - What s different about this set is that it has some alternate recordings of songs we all love. There are several live recordings and some songs sung the way they were originally written. I especially liked the original version of I made it through the rain. You also receive a book with comments from the original composers/arrangers of the songs - lots of behind the scenes information. Thanks, Barry, for continuing to feed our hunger!
Barry Manilow- Complete Collection surprises included - To potential buyers of the Barry Complete Collection: I grew up singing his songs and have never stopped. I went on to have a 20 year classical singing career but Barry always remained part of my I call it happy Music....This collection is interesting for it combines so many different styles and Barry himself is not shy to try for EX: Ave Maria which is my least favorite. I also have never been a lover of the very fast Copa and and other s like it. I have alwys been a ballad gal at heart. Barry does not fall short here with this extended 4 CD and one DVD collection. What I lOVE is that he shares with us so much of his early years with demos where he can even make a mistake and we won t care. He shows us he is a human who sighs and may sing a note that is too edgy or added words on a never released song that you do not hear on the released album. I find this a lot of fun and the added booklet gives you a solid history of the background of Barry s talent which is immense. His voice is his voice and he never feels that he needs to make a big deal about it. It is and appropriate for what he does and he is one of the best song writers we will ever have. I am and will always be a true fan of Barry Manilow. If you ar a die hard Barry fan This one is for you
