AMG Review of Best of Bobby Vinton [Epic]

All Music Guide

Columbia/Legacy's 2004 release The Best of Bobby Vinton is the first high-profile Bobby Vinton collection since 1991's 16 Most Requested Songs. It's four songs shorter than that disc and it also borrows heavily from a 1972 collection, yet it's still the best collection available on CD because it's a tightly focused, nicely remastered, concise collection of Vinton's biggest and best songs, including "Roses Are Red (My Love)," "Blue on Blue," "Blue Velvet," "Mr. Lonely," and "Sealed with a Kiss."
