This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print Frankie Laine LPs, Call of the Wild and Wanderlust, originally issued in 1962 and 1963, respectively. Each of the 24 tracks has a continuity dominated by easy listening versions of popular songs, many of which are country & western, including "North to Alaska," "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," "Riders in the Sky," "What Kind of Fool Am I?," and "On the Road to Mandalay." This is an enjoyable reissue from the large Frankie Laine catalog on Columbia Records, but most listeners would be better served with one of the many compilations in print. ~ Al Campbell

Two on one includes Frankie's albums originally released in 1962 & 1963 on Columbia. Highlights include 'Riders In The Sky', 'Tumbling Tumbleweeds' and 'Beyond The Blue Horizon'. Collectables 2003.

Originally released on Columbia Records.

2 LPs on 1 CD: CALL OF THE WILD (1962)/WANDERLUST (1963).

Recording information: 02/13/1962-10/24/1962.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars At His Peak
These are Frankie Laine's final two albums for Columbia (where he had many of his biggest hits). Many fans believe that his always magnificent voice reached its peak on these albums. Laine himself considers DE GLORY ROAD to be one of his best performances. My favorite track here is SERENADE, a swinging version of the Sigmund Romberg operetta. Laine brings a novel approach to RIDERS IN THE SKY as well, delivering the song in a driving, upbeat tempo that, coupled with the brass-laden score, lends the song a hot, desert aura perfect for the hellish cattle drive it depicts. Vaughn Monroe had the hit version of this song 15 years earlier, but Laine's is the version many people remember. These albums also feature stereo remakes of several of Laine's own earlier hits: SWAMP GIRL, TUMBLING TUMBLEWEEDS, THE GIRL IN THE WOOD, I'M GONNA LIVE TILL I DIE and THE ROAD TO MANDALAY (from the poem by Rudyard Kipling, and often featured in his nightclub act). The suberb arrangements by legendary film composer John Williams do not attempt to recreate the sound of the originals and compare so with them that it's impossible to choose a favorite version. The CALL OF THE WILD album has a sweeping, grand, poetic feel to it on many of the songs -- the aural equivalent of riding a horse through Monument Valley or the Grand Canyon, which perfectly fits its theme. The WANDERLUST album often has a jazzier feel, although it breaks from its similar theme on WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I and others. Both albums complement each other nicely.

Call Of The Wild/Wanderlust album
CD $12.15  4.3 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Collectables Records' two-CD set By Request/Sing to Me, Mr. C. combines two early-'60s Perry Como albums. By Request, actually the later of the two discs, having been released initially in 1962, finds Como tackling some of the best songs of the day, the album given over to early-'60s hits like "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Moon River." Of course, those songs are closely associated with other singers, but Como puts his stamp on them, as he does with such quality material as "Maria" from West Side Story and "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music. Sing to Me, Mr. C., originally released in 1961, keys ...

CD $12.29  4.8 stars Audio Samples
Collectables Records' Saturday Night With Mr. C./When You Come to the End of the Day actually packs two and a half vintage Perry Como albums into its two-CD package with a running time of nearly an hour and three-quarters. That's because, having been pushed to two discs by the unusually long running time of Saturday Night With Mr. C., the label has added even more material, culling six of the 12 songs from the 1959 album Como Swings as bonus tracks. At a release price of $13.50 for 40 tracks, the resulting compilation is quite a bargain. That said, the pairing is an odd one. Saturday Night With Mr. C. and When You Come to the End of the Day were both originally released in 1958, but they're very different records. The former is a kind of audio equivalent of Como's TV show, beginning with his opening theme and ending with his closing theme, in between including two introductory bits of his "Letters Theme" that ...
