Hidden Gems
Staysun | Downers Grove, IL USA | 05/10/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This collection features many post-World War II recordings previously unavailable (from Big Band - 'Three O'Clock in the Morning' to Polka - 'More Beer' to Novelty - 'The Turntable Song'). Also included are soundtrack cuts ('You Don't Have to Know the Language', 'Bounce Me Brother with a Solid Four', 'Gimme Some Skin, My Friend' one of their best performances, 'You're Off to See the World' a delight unrecorded in studio, and the bizarre boogie woogie 'Hula ba Luau'). The second disc closes with a few radio gems including a rousing 'That's A-Plenty.' Essential set for Andrews Sisters collectors at a great price."
Rare gems from the brilliant swinging sisters
Peter Durward Harris | Leicester England | 12/23/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is not the place to begin a collection of Andrews sisters music, but for those (like me) who can't get enough of their upbeat, swinging music, this is a major compilation containing much great music that is not available elsewhere. Most of the tracks are from the period 1947 to 1951 but there are some earlier tracks too.Most of the collection consists of up-tempo, swinging songs but these are interspersed with a few ballads including Nobody's darling but mine, Down in the valley and Between two trees. All the swinging songs are excellent but distinctive, but The turntable song, Now is the time, Walk with a wiggle, You call everybody darling, Underneath the arches, Gimme some skin my friend, The carioca, Let a smile be your umbrella, The glory of love and More beer are among my favorites.The sisters frequently recorded duets and there are plenty of those here. Danny Kaye is featured on three tracks including Amelia Cordelia McHugh - McWho and Big brass band from Brazil. Carmen Miranda features twice. Bing Crosby also guests on two tracks, one of which also features Nat King Cole. Other guests include Burl Ives and Ernest Tubb.If you already have most of the obvious songs and enjoy them enough to want more, then you will love this collection."
