All the Best from Germany

Amazon.com
This collection of German standards is so determinedly lighthearted you could go snow-blind just listening to it. Disc 1 wanders from brass band music with a cheery chorus to a pop-friendly combo armed with electronic keyboards and what sounds suspiciously like a drum machine. "Kornblumenblau" gets a reverential glee club treatment, while "Heute Blau und Morgen Blau" erupts with ersatz yodels that are as close as this set gets to Alpine vocal antics. The Mexican ay-yi-yi-ing on the calypso-flavored "Nach Hause Geh'n Wir Nicht" shows how far such collections have come from the days of "The Happy Wanderer," though the unnamed musicians toss that ditty in as well. Disc 2 ups the oompah-band quotient a couple of notches, putting a head on the lusty singing guaranteed to put the gemütlichkeit into your own private Oktoberfest. --Bob Tarte

Wrong Song Samples.......2007-08-01

The samples shown here for this CD are, very unfortunatly, not the songs on the CD. I am not sure why they have these samples listed, when thsy were not actually on the CD.

Warning- Songs on "Disc 2" not on CD !!!.......2007-06-22

I actually bought this CD for those exact songs(to replace a worn out cassette). Regrettably, they aren't on this CD! The discription and the music samples are wrong.

There are, at the very least, two problems with the discription.

First, What Amazon calls "Disc 1" is really Disc 2.

Second, What Amazon calls "Disc 2" is not from this CD. The discription AND music samples you hear are from this CD...Best of Germany.

It looks like the discription provided by the manufacturer is wrong for this CD as I've seen the same discription all over the internet. So if you buy this looking for specific songs, you'll probably be disappointed.

By the way , I have the cassette version of Best of Germany and it is awesome! It features Heino amongst others.

I am very disappointed.......2006-12-14

This is a collection of fine old German songs, cut in mid-verse sometimes like someone would switch stations on a push-button radio. I've heard all the song as a young man stationed in Germany during the cold war, and bring back memories. I wish the package was more honestly represented.

A Mixed Bag.......2006-11-02

This is a two CD set of German drinking and merrymaking music that comes in an attractive cardboard sleeve. Both CD's feature a mixed chorus ably accompanied by a traditional German oom-pah band. The main difference between the two CD's is the presence in disc 1 of partygoers who applaud, cheer, and make all manner of extraneous noise. To me, that spoiled the presentation. It sounded too much like a drunken bar scene. Disc 2, on the other hand, would make really great background music for any German theme party, including Oktoberfest. In my opinion, this set is worth buying just for disc 2.

Songs indicated are not the same songs on the CD........2006-08-24

While some of the songs are great, the CD does not contain several of the songs listed which include some of the reasons I purchased this CD. I am surprised that there is not a quality check prior to offering the CD for sale.

Short renditions of German Favorites.......1999-02-11

This is the CD that is Volume 2 of All the Best From Germany, but it is mislabeled there. Save some money and get the two volume set. There are only 5 duplicates. The problem with this CD is that too many of the selections are less than one minute long and are better suited to medleys. Some songs do not correspond to the CD title.

A great CD for those who love German Band Music.......1998-11-10

All The Best From The German Beer Garden has to be one of the best CDs you can buy if you're into German Bands. The only flaw this compact disc has it that it has the same tune throughout the whole disc. Still, it has to be the best one out there.

So-So CD.......2000-08-01

I ordered this CD for my mom thinking that it was another one. I confused it with the "All the Best from Germany: 20 Hits" (the one with a picture of the "Disney" Castle on it), and was disappointed when I listened to this one. The CD with the 20 hits in the song title is superior to this one because it doesn't have all the background noises that some of the tracks on this one has. But it was still an OK (just OK) CD.
