Additional information
The overexposure of Nana Mouskouri the world over has obscured the genuine quality of some of her work, particularly in her earlier years. This 27-track, 79-minute U.K. compilation is a good place to start for English-speaking audiences interested in getting material from her formative recordings in bulk. Recorded entirely in Greece (and sung entirely in Greek) between 1958 and 1960, it's an impressive and at times exhilarating survey of the era, as interesting for the songs and arrangements as for her singing. Her vocals are, to be sure, an important part of the music, drawing from her classical training but delivered with a measured, somewhat melancholy emotion. The material is wildly eclectic, yet in an understated and effective fashion, drawing from varying doses of classical, Greek folk, European pop, jazz, soundtrack music, and even bossa nova. For all the bittersweet sentimentality of many of the tunes, the arrangements are not bloated or overdone, imaginatively complementing the compositions' and vocalist's strengths. While only one of these ("Never on a Sunday," here titled "Ta Pedia Tou Pirea") might be familiar to global audiences, virtually everything is highly worthwhile and affecting. The liner notes, though containing a fair summary of Mouskouri's career, could have had more specific details about the tracks on this particular compilation. But as an anthology documenting her origins as a recording star, it's an excellent value. ~ Richie Unterberger

I received the book in a paper envelope and unfortunately it was affected by weather becoming wet and damaged. I contacted the seller and explained the circumstances. I was offered two options, 1) return the book for a full refund (seemed wasteful, unable to resell the book, incurs a cost for postage) or 2) receive a partial refund of $5.87 ($25.85 purchase price). I politely declined the offer of an arbitrary partial refund, and suggested that a paper book be posted inside a thin plastic sleeve

I appreciate getting the book, though someone packing the item wasn’t careful and 6 pages had been folded, it’s good to practice to make near more perfect. I appreciate it having arrived, thank you.
