Hip-O's 2004 budget-line release
Greatest Love Songs gathers 12 popular romantic themes taken from the balladeer
Engelbert Humperdinck's late-'60s to early-'70s catalog on Parrot Records. While the disc contains several classic moments, including "Release Me (And Let Me Love Again)," "The Last Waltz," "A Man Without Love (Quando M'Innamoro)," and "The Way It Used to Be," the selection is too haphazard to make the collection a good introduction. Nevertheless, it's not bad as a sampler, but
Humperdinck's Ultimate Collection, also on Hip-O, is the recommended set. ~ Al Campbell
