5 out of 5 stars Just Plain Fun!!!.......2006-04-25

You do NOT have to be as old as I am to enjoy this collection! If you are not singing along with these tunes, I will be amazed. Another collection of "old standards," it is not "too old" to enjoy. Very rich treatments of songs we all know, and most of us loved. So-called "modern music" has so much to learn, and offers so little to be truly appreciated, by comparison! You'll LOVE it!

5 out of 5 stars Great listening can be found on this C.D.!.......2005-10-15

"It's The Talk of the Town" was the first Ray Conniff record that featured the singers actually performing the words instead of the singers performing to the sounds of the music. From It's The Talk of the Town" to "You're an Old Smoothie" to Buttons and Bows" its enjoyable listening for everyone. You won't be disappointed by this in your C.D. collection!!

5 out of 5 stars Worth every penny.......2000-01-10

Wonderful music. Both for dancing and listening. I bought two

4 out of 5 stars 2 great albums on 1 cd.......1999-05-11

Ray was at the peak of his choral writing for these two albums. There is just no one on the market with a better vocal dance beat!!

Album Description

Holiday blues comin' on? Well, put a spike in `em! Here's the zaniest, wildest and just plain sickest Collectors' Choice Music exclusive yet—79 tracks from Spike Jones and his City Slickers! These represent Spike's complete Standard Transcription sides, but these tunes are anything but standard; Mr. Jones brought his full bag of tricks for these non-commercial recordings (made in Hollywood during the early `40s). Add to that the fact that most of these have never been on CD or even LP, and any lover of Spike's mayhem-filled mixture of laughs and hot licks is going to flip over this set! Notes and great pictures accompany this 3-CD walk on the wacky side from the greatest novelty band of all time.

5 out of 5 stars Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14

Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

4 out of 5 stars Standard Transcription Collection.......2003-04-12

This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.
