Reader's Digest built its name on lavish mail-order box sets, and Down Memory Lane is one of the most ambitious of them: ten LPs tracing 65 years of American popular song, from turn-of-the-century parlor favorites and Tin Pan Alley through the big band era and the pre-rock pop of the early 1960s. These were full studio recordings made for the set - big orchestra, chorus and featured vocalists - not licensed hit singles, so the sound is consistent from disc to disc. It is a genuinely broad survey rather than a thin sampler, and sets like this shipped in a sturdy slipcase box with an illustrated booklet. A pleasant, deep listen for anyone who loves standards and nostalgia programming.
