"This set has got it all. If you are a hard core Louis Prima fan, this is the set for you! The set isn't just about Louis: It includes 2 CDs with Keely Smith and 2 with Sam Butera. Keely's solo stuff consists mostly of ballads, but there are a few real swingers, especially the 2 duets with Frank Sinatra. Sam Butera's discs are great, too. Sam is a fine vocalist, too and he is just as much fun as Louis, especially in the tracks 'Bugs' and 'French Poodle'. If you're just after an overview of Louis' career, then the 1 CD Capitol Collectors Series CD or the 2 CD Louis Prima/Keely Smith set from the Wild, Cool & Swingin' series are the way to go. This set is for the completist. For me, the set was well worth the price!"
