The Greek singer Nana Mouskouri was primarily known in German-speaking countries for her hit. However, her musical versatility and her talent for languages opened up a worldwide career in jazz for her. In 1962 Quincy Jones produced «The Girl From Greece Sings with her in the USA». Harry Belafonte also noticed her and went on tour with her. With over 300 million records sold, Nana Mouskouri is a world star and the Best Selection includes 20 of her titles.
UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but rather cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. Another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied to protect the softer photopolymer from scratching. The combination results in a significantly reduced reflection of the laser light inside the CD and an unmatched precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with normal CD players. Musically, the result is a sound that is strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes.
