Member CD Reviews Eric K. (SoulfulStuff) Reviewed on 1/26/2017... Original RCA Victor recordings by musician/bandleader Spike Jones, the most successful satirical recording artist of the 1940s and early 1950s. Jones had nearly 20 hit singles in the years 1942-53. This compilation is from the Good Music Record Co. (no, not the Kanye outfit!) which sold reissue stuff like this mostly through TV advertising in the 1990s. Sound quality is petty good considering the age of the material. According to the booklet notes, Jones' rendition of "That Old Black Magic" was "often used to start his stage show off with a bang. The number featured live pigs that slid down chutes and were chased around the stage by a giant and a dwarf." Sounds like a sight to be seen, but it'd never fly in today's world. This disc also includes the "banned" version of "Riders in the Sky," which was censored in America because of an unkind reference to fellow RCA recording star Vaughn Monroe, who had a hit version of the same song (and who also held considerable stock in RCA). Relevant to the end, Jones' 1963 recording "Nyet!" was a commentary on Russia during the time of Kruschev and Kennedy. Spike Jones died in 1965 at age 53. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
