Finally getting around to listening to this one. I absolutely love all the Ray Conniff titles...even if I don't love all the songs. I can't help myself. The Quadness of these is unreal. Fidelity is excellent. I voted a 10...because I don't buy these for the songs necessarily. I buy them for the memories these bring me...priceless.
