Reviews:
Dance like no one's watching... While I was writing "I Kept My Word," in conjunction with Clarence Wolfe, a World War II veteran, who told the story of Glenn Miller's death, a friend gave me this particular CD of Miller's music. I loved it so much that I purchased one for the vet, as he just had some old worn-out tapes with some of his favorite Glenn Miller tunes. I think he will wear this CD out, too! The classical sound of Glenn Miller has already touched generations, and I predict it will continue to do so. After my book came out, I was amazed at how many young people knew Glenn Miller's music and were eager to read more about him. Glenn Miller I was a little disappointed in this CD. Somehow the music of his band I have heard previously seemed to sound better. Don't know why. Big Band Music If you like Glenn Miller, you will like this CD. It contains many of his greatest hits. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. These are original Glenn Miller recordings. The first Glenn Miller Compact Disc. This is the first Glenn Miller disc I bought back in the eighties and I think it's the first CD ever released of Glenn Miller`s hits. 16 great songs with those darn "scratches and pops," but that's alright, it makes the music breath in my opinion.
I also bought the "Essential Glenn Miller" collection and I thought it suffered from too much noise reduction and the song selection was too heavy on Eberle ballads. The "Unforgettable Glenn Miller & His Orchestra" collection has just one Eberle song and it's biggest hit "Serenade In Blue."
I've since bought the 3 disc/60 song "Popular Recordings" collection. That too has some of those "scratches and pops," but they just don't bother me at all. Anyway, this disc makes a great starting point, in your Glenn Miller discoveries.
Finally, why can't these compilations of old 78's have a few more seconds between them? Essentially we have a bunch of singles all crammed together, so why not let them have some breathing room. As I recall, the British Beatles albums from 1963 to 1966 had a seven second break between songs. I loved it! It was like letting dust settle before being inundated with another song right away. It basically gives each song it's own spotlight. Oh, the days of one song at a time.
Don't buy this collection unless you prefer scratches and pops Listen to the sample of Tuxedo Junction -- even on this remaster you can clearly hear the source LP scratches and pops. Compare the same song on Essential Glenn Miller (1995 or 2005). |
