A Missed Opportunity Yes but ..........2007-06-28

Yes, it may have been a missed opportunity but somehow I get the feeling that nothing extra was ever recorded for this album - or if it was, it was probably discarded in the excess and carelessness of the Seventies - more importantly, we do get to hear one of the most beautiful voices God has ever graced us with, finally on CD. I was pleasantly surprised when I bought the original album becoz there aren't very many weak songs on it. Maybe a better idea would've been to take the best songs off her next album, "Listen!" and filled out this CD with them - I, for one, am overjoyed to finally hear this beautiful voice on CD.

A Missed Opportunity.......2007-03-25

This album is the closest thing in music to a "cult movie." It is known by very few, but highly prized by her fans. Since no CD was ever made available, old and scratched LP's were sold and traded and bootleg CD's (made the the scratchy vinyl with all the pops, hiss and hum) were copied for friends.

But her fan base is so small and select, even illegal mp3's were rarely found on the web.

It is a shame that this reissue didn't include any supplimental material or bonus tracks. If anyone actually remembers the hit "Pilot of the Airways" they will be disappointed because the album version is very different from the single that played on the radio. The should have at least added the single version.

I wish real audiophile label had released the reissue. Compared to the wonderful reissues of artists like Chad & Jeremy Of Cabbages & Kings, Harper's Bizarre Anything Goes or The Free Design You Could Be Born Again, this is a disappointment.

Pure beauty.......2005-09-06

Ever since Charlotte Church turned into a tabloids' darling and a wannabe pop star, there's been a gap opened for a young, sweet-faced soprano. The best bet on filling it seems to be Hayley Westenra, a young singer/dancer from New Zealand.

The result: "Pure," an album that is reminiscent of early Sarah Brightman, back when she did folk songs and showtunes. Westenra sticks close to her classical sound with songs like the delicate "In Trutina" and the traditional New Zealand song "Pokarekare Ana," which is rendered with the backing of a a rather muddled male chorus and some swelling strings.

However, Westenra doesn't neglect more modern songs, and she does well in classical pop as well as straightforward classical. The big difference seems to be a bit of synth and a delicate guitar melody, in songs like the charming "Beat of Your Heart" and dreamy "Why Painted the Moon Black?" It's a smooth, thoroughly sweet crossover effect.

Westenra also eschews the usual round of classical-pop songs, like "Nella Fantasia." I love that song, but it's been done so many times. Instead, she opts for Maori lullabies, Vivaldi ballads, the neglected "Mummer's Dance" and the orchestral cathedral grandeur of "Benedictus." She even covers Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights," adding a modern feel to the finale.

That is not to say that every choice is an excellent one. "Wuthering Heights" has Westenra trying to sound more Bush-ian, while "Amazing Grace" is too simple vocally. Aside from those, her choices of song are excellent -- rich, uplifting and beautiful, and backed by a wide range of orchestral musicians, especially the strings.

There is also an accompanying EP, in which Westenra covers four Christmas ballads, and does them all justice. Her vocals are well suited to the dignified lyrics of songs like "The Mummer's Dance" and "Silent Night," although a bit less for the still-lovely "Mary Did You Know" and "Away in a Manger."

Her vocals themselves are not operatic, but they are strong, clear and sweet, without pretensions or dramatic flourishes. The effect is stunning, more given to magic and sweetness than to keeping to classical standards. Since this was recorded when Westenra was only sixteen, one wonders how good she'll be in ten years.

Despite comparisons to Charlotte Church, Hayley Westenra is more like Sarah Brightman -- a sweet-voiced singer, straddling the fence between classical and pop. An enchanting experience.

WHAT A GIFT!.......2004-12-20

I RECEIVED THESE 2 CDS AS A GIFT AND I LISTEN TO THEM FREQUENTLY. HER PERFORMANCE WITH RUSSELL WATSON (ON DVD)ON HIS TOUR IS WONDERFUL. I CAN'T WAIT FOR A NEW ALBUM. WOULD LIKE TO GET HER NEW SONG, BRIDAL BALLAD, FROM THE SOUNDTRACK OF THE MERCHANT OF VENICE

Incredible voice - Incredible CD.......2004-04-29

I recently saw Hayley on TV and had to immediately buy this CD. Her voice is so clear and pure, and her songs are filled with lyrical emotion.

It is an absolutely incredible CD that any music lover should have in their collection. My favorite song is Wuthering Heights.

The Best.......2004-04-27

Her album is the best, voice of an angel.......you can totally relakes to her music.

Charlotte is NO match..........2003-12-15

Hayley is just phenomenal. There is no doubt that she surpasses every other female artist in her genre. This CD is astonishing. My two favorite songs are "Heaven" and "Wuthering Heights". The first Hayley Westenra song I ever heard was "Heaven". It would not be the last. Her voice is like that of an angel. She has a smooth, serene sound, and she has an incredible range. If you want a more classical sound, you want her. It's not that gaudy stuff that people generally think of. This stuff has a beat... and it's not pumping with bass. If you're a fan of Sarah Brightman, Josh Groban, Charlotte Church, or Mario Frangoulis... try Hayley Westenra, you won't regret it. I just can't wait 'til she comes to the states... that'll be a good day. She has a few Italian songs, but she's not heavy on the foreign stuff like some of the other artists of Opera / Classical. She's got a wonderful voice for a little girl... I'm a huge fan, Hayley! You roped me in, in about 2 minutes time!

Amazon.com essential recording

Leonard Bernstein's collaboration with Betty Comden and Adolph Green on Wonderful Town is one of his great Broadway triumphs, filled with memorable music and great lyrics. And the screwball tale of two fish-out-of-water small-town sisters in NYC (based on the play My Sister Eileen by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov) still sounds comical and fresh, despite the fact that it was written in the '50s and set in the '30s. Up until now, the 1958 television cast recording was the disc to have: a slightly embellished version of the original cast recording starring Rosalind Russell. The strong cast on this 1999 studio recording is every bit as impressive. Audra McDonald shines as Eileen during "A Little Bit in Love," Kim Criswell is a fine Ruth (though less memorable than Russell), and Thomas Hampson--a baritone best known for his work on the opera stage--is great as Ruth's gruff editor, Bob Baker. Simon Rattle's orchestrations are grand, yet quirky, a perfect match for Bernstein's score. It's easy to recommend a disc that has so many great vocal moments: "Conga!," "My Darlin' Eileen," "Conversation Piece," and "Pass the Football" (sung by Brent Barrett), to name a few. --Jason Verlinde

A crossover Wonderful Town far from Broadway.......2005-10-07

Maybe we need some background checks here: Have any of these other reviewers actually been to a musical? On Broadway? Or anywhere in America?

Simon Rattle startled Berlin by taking this same Wonderful Town to the Philharmonie as a gala performance. HOw in the world did they react? This performance is not much like real Broadway. Listen to just a few moments of the original cast recording with Rosalind Russell or the current NY revival with Donna Murphy, and you'll sense how many fish are out of water here.

Rattle does the best, conducting with real verve and an almost-good-enough grasp of the Boradway-swing idiom Bernstein was writing in. Eveyrone else is too obviously trying to sound like something they're not. Audra McDonald is a too-throaty Eileen, Kim Criswell an edgy, noisy Ruth, Thomas Hampson a stiffly operatic editor, Robert Baker. Altogether, this CD is an energetic but ersatz attempt to take Broadway where Broadway don't want to go.

Kim Criswell and Audra McDonald as the Sherwood sisters!.......2004-07-08

This is one of the better cast albums of WONDERFUL TOWN, though nothing tops the original '53 recording with Rosalind Russell. Still, time marches on and there have been several superb Ruth's in recent years, including the fabulous Kim Criswell.

Criswell has the perfect brassy voice to sing the scores of Broadway's golden classics (she's also luminous on the '91 studio album of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN), and she fits the material of TOWN to a tee. Her spin on Ruth is well worth your time and money, especially her fetching "100 Easy Ways" and showstopping "Conga!". And, as with the ANNIE GET YOUR GUN album, she's once again paired with Thomas Hampson, who plays Ruth's love interest Bob Baker (he played Frank opposite her Annie Oakley).

Audra McDonald is likewise the perfect Eileen, perhaps offering up the definitive "A Little Bit in Love", and proves she's a comical cutup with "My Darlin' Eileen" as well as "Wrong-Note Rag". Brent Barrett is sadly under-used in the role of football-mad Wreck.

Conductor Simon Rattle gives the album a cracking pace which never slackens or drags. A top studio album which is enlivened no end by its perfectly-realised cast.

TOPS!.......2001-06-09

If you need one reason to buy this super cd, let it be for Leonard Bernstein's brilliant music---his only score to win a Tony Award. (That's right: neither "Candide" nor "West Side Story" won a Tony.)

The lyrics of Betty Comden and Adolph Green are some of their best. The witty duo came back to Broadway for this show, their first reunion with Bernstein since the success of "On The Town" almost 10 years before. They had very recently written the wildly successful "Singin' In The Rain" in Hollywood and with "Wonderful Town" they (& the entire creative team) conquered New York City.

This CD, to my mind, is a heck of alot better in almost every way than the original cast recording which starred Rosalind Russell. Russell, of course, could not sing and although her role is heavy on comedy and light on music, Kim Criswell comes off better: she is funny & touching as well as caustic and light-handed as well as tough. Russell sounds angry and almost sullen throughout...also quite mature. Add to this, the fact that Criswell has a sensational singing voice. As her love interest,Thomas Hampson, one of our finest operatic baritones, knows exactly how to lighten his voice to sing musical comedy and does it beautifully. On the Russell CD, George Gaines merely sounds old and terribly fancy, like a serious singer who is slumming. Although Edith Adams is fine as "Eileen," Audra McDonald (a 3-time Tony winner, herself) is even better in the role of the girl that all New York City wants to woo. Brent Barrett brings his gorgeous voice, as well as comic skills to his one song as the football-playing dunce, "Wreck."

The sound on this 1999 recording is superb. The conductor, Sir Simon Rattle, throws himself into Bernstein's score with verve and shows exactly how much he loves American jazz and Broadway.

There are many comic numbers, all of which hit the mark, but I must mention that "A Little Bit In Love" and "A Quiet Girl" and "It's Love" have got to be three of the sweetest, cleverest, most charming "love" songs in any musical. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

An addicting recording.......2001-02-22

I was browsing through the cd selection at my library when I came across this one. I have always liked Leonard Bernstein but for some reason had never connected him with this musical. His name and Thomas Hampson's caught my eye and I decided to try it out. I'm so glad I did! The songs are marvelous, really bringing out the whole comical aspect of the story. I had never heard of any of the performers (with the exception of Thomas Hampson, whose voice I just love) but was so impressed with their renditions of their characters. Kim Criswell's throaty voice sounds just like you would think Ruth would feel about life in general; Audra McDonald has a sweet optimistic view in her songs; Brent Barrett is hilarious in "Pass the Football" (I laugh every time I hear it--he is so expressive); and Thomas Hampson's beautiful baritone is perfect in "What a Waste" and "A Quiet Girl". The supporting singers are great, too. I have listened to this cd over and over. I just can't seem to get enough of it! The recording itself is very good, clear and detailed, and I was delighted with the booklet with the full lyrics. Altogether very good; I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys musical theatre.

Absolute perfection.......2000-05-31

I had the awesome good fortune to see this program performed in London last summer with all these stars and under the baton of Simon Rattle. It was a magical evening, all of which is captured on this fantastic recording. The cast does a marvelous job of passing the terrific energy of Berstein's music along to the listener. And the lyrics are a delight. Although this particular show is not as well-known as other classics by Bernstein et al, it well deserves a place among the standards. 'What a Waste' is a delightful surprise, and 'A Quiet Girl' is quite moving. Audra McDonald sings like an angel, and her rendition of 'Little Bit in Love' is simply lovely. Despite the perfection of the voices and the lyrics, one of the highlights of the recording is Bernstein's jazzy and sensual 'Ballet at the Village Vortex.' Wow! Overall, this is just a terrific recording that brings back memories of a magical night -- imagine 200 people doing a 'Conga' line through the Royal Albert Hall -- that energy comes through on this recording.

Just take it as read that Anne Sofie von Otter is in her usual captivating form. Her legions of fans needn't think twice before acquiring this fascinating new album. What, though, of the music itself? Pianist and composer Cécile Chaminade, born in Paris in 1857, is known to aficionados as a composer of piano miniatures, a fact reflected in what has crept into the recording catalogue over the years. Here, though, are the fruits of pianist Bengt Forsberg's enthusiasm for the songs. And irresistible they are, too. How on earth have such imaginative, charming, elegant, and beautifully crafted melodies (all on the subject of amour) escaped widespread acknowledgement for so long? There's a wide range of moods, from the bubbling "Malgré Nous" and the whimsical "L'Amour captif" to the passionate "Te souviens-tu?" and the reflective, bittersweet "Ma première lettre." As you might expect from a pianist-composer, the accompaniments are delightful, a fact relished to the full by Forsberg. Von Otter identifies with every phrase (barring the odd rather unseemly scoop) and emotion. Various short pieces for violin and piano, and two pianos, provide an engagingly performed bonus. --Andrew Green

SONGS OF INNOCENCE.......2005-05-21

As it happens, I have been moderately familiar with the music of Cecile Chaminade for a number of years, so perhaps I can give anyone curious but uncertain what to expect some idea of what he or she will find on this disc. Chaminade seems to have been totally celibate her entire life. She eventually abandoned music for exhausting work as a hospital administrator in the first world war. Debilitation due to this cause and, according to the sleeve note, to an excessively vegetarian diet led to her losing a foot through amputation, but she lived on until age 87, dying in 1944. Her musical style is in many obvious senses conservative. The harmonic advances of Debussy and Ravel, and even of Faure, find no echo in her work. The style is very French, and there may be some influence of Saint-Saens, but for me there are odd reminiscences of Berlioz, himself a lot more innocent in many ways than he liked to let on.

The 25 love songs here are, with only one exception unless my ears deceive me, in major keys. The only poet whose name is familiar to me is Ronsard, and the sentiments are chaste and asexual from start to finish. Despite that they manage to sound very Parisian and ooh-la-la. They are not pale and maidenly but full of high spirits and energy. There are no dark shadows even in the minor-key number, and not a hint of the worldly-wisdom of Jane Austen. The piano parts are boldly written and occasionally quite demanding, and there is also a violin obbligato in the Minuet. In addition we are given three violin/piano duos (one arranged by Kreisler) and three slightly larger works for two pianos, in which it would be possible to hear the idiom of Saint-Saens but not for certain.

Anne Sofie von Otter's expression in the photographs will tell you at a glance how she intends to go about the songs. Her voice is nothing like Piaf's of course, and the songs would not bring the house down at the Paris Olympia, but she gets as near to that style as artistic integrity allows. Her French sounds very good indeed to me, and she gives Chaminade everything she has got, all vivacity, extroversion and joie-de-vivre. Chaminade seems to have nothing to regret either.

The other artists distinguish themselves thoroughly. The feel of enjoyment about this recital comes through as strongly from Bengt Forsberg's vigorous and dexterous piano-playing as from the singer herself. The violin parts are done very well, joining in the general mood, and there is a fine sturdy contribution on the second piano from Peter Jablonski. Everything about this disc delighted me from start to finish. The recorded sound is just about ideal for the purpose, and even the liner note is very good. Full texts of the songs are of course provided, with English translation and German Uebersetzung. One of the songs proclaims `Je voudrais etre une fleur'. It's a bit late now, but I sometimes wonder whether innocence doesn't have more to be said for it than we are vectored into believing in these enlightened days.

Anne Sofie brings Chaminade's songs to light and life!.......2004-03-20

Anne Sofie brings Chaminade's vocal music to an elevated level with Berlioz, Faure and Duparc in the classical world. Most of these pieces were unheard of until von Otter brought them to the public's attention with her beautiful interpretation of Chaminade's melody and text. Bengt Forsberg provides support that opens the gateway to a beautiful and expressive performance of these melodies. This is truly a treasure for any classical vocal library!

Delightful.......2003-12-10

This delightful CD of music by Cecile Chaminade, was the inspiration of Bengt Forsberg. He spent decades searching for and "collecting her music in second-hand music shops." While collaborating with Anne Sofie von Otter on another program, Forsberg showed her these neglected songs. The result was this wonderful CD. Probably you should listen to this CD for the Chaminade melodies. (25 of the 140 songs are presented here). But, Forsberg has also recorded the pieces for violin & piano and pieces for two pianos with Spaft, and Jablonski. The inclusion of these pieces, gives us a more complete idea of Chaminade's range of composition.

The artistry of von Otter, is captivating, and Forsberg clearly has an affinity for Chaminade's romantic French music.

It is easy to record and sell the tried and true, but Anne Sofie von Otter and Bengt Forsberg (and DG) have done something risky in recording Chaminade's music. She is not Mozart. At the time of this writing this recording ranked 38,201 on Amazon.com's sale ranking system. And so, perhaps it will not payoff for the artists and the company involved. Perhaps this CD will not be available for long. Perhaps. But IT IS available NOW, and so I encourage anyone who reads this to find a way to hear this delightful music in these nearly perfect performances.

I highly recommend it.

Musical Archaeology of a Very High Order.......2002-05-30

It is hardly news to say that Anne Sophie von Otter is quite, quite amazing; she has, in her way, reached the point that a celebrated stage actress might, at which we would say that she could recite the telephone book and we would listen gratefully.

Fortunately for us she is instead singing the lovely songs of the undeservedly obscure Cecile Chaminade, whose exquisite and entirely retrograde songs are given their due and more in these sensitive and heartfelt performances. Several cheers at least should be given for the worthy contributions of pianists Bengt Forsberg and Peter Jablonski (the former on both song accompaniments and the instrumental tracks that end the album) as well for Nils-Erik Sparf on violin.

This collection is just the thing for anyone fond of intelligent singing, sentimental poetry, or music that aims to warm a tired heart. It is most of all for anyone who knows, with Mlle. Chaminade, that one might someday forget one's first love letter, but never the feeling that inspired it...

fine studio "West Side Story".......2006-10-21

If you already own the Broadway cast album or the film soundtrack of WEST SIDE STORY, this album might not seem an essential purchase, because the sheer brilliance and electric energy of the score was captured for the ages on those two aforementioned discs. What you will get on this 1993 studio cast album, though, are two very capable singers, and the musical direction of Barry Wordsworth with the Royal Philharmonic.

Michael Ball and Barbara Bonney play the doomed lovers Tony and Maria. Ball, a musical theatre veteran, easily slips into the material and performs it handsomely. Barbara Bonney, an opera singer best-known for her peerless Mozart soprano roles, seems a little unsteady treading in a different style of music (but the role of Maria is quite suited to an operatic soprano voice). On the whole, Ball and Bonney make quite a team and the recording flatters them both immensely.

LaVerne Williams, mezzo soprano, again displays why it's sometimes very hard for an opera singer to try adapting their voices to another genre of music. The role of Anita is written and best performed by a fiery belter, not the tranquil mezzo that Ms Williams uses on this recording. "America" comes across as a whisper rather than a scream, and "A Boy Like That", grief-stricken Anita's verbal attack on Maria, is not all that it could have been.

This recording features quite a lot of the dance and ballet music, and some snippets of dialogue to indicate the progression of the story. This is arguably Leonard Bernstein's greatest gift to the musical theatre, filled with haunting and sweeping melodies, coupled with Stephen Sondheim's earliest of lyrics.

Although it's not the best recording of the score, you could do a lot worse than this WEST SIDE STORY.

That's The Truth.......2006-03-29

Hello folks! I'm italian and I wanna tell you the truth about Valerie Dore!
Monica Stucchi was only the model imagine and nothing else, she didn't sing in these songs, not even back vox.
Dora Carofiglio (Novecento) Sung "The Night", "Get Closer" and "It's so easy", Simona Zanini (Radiorama, Doctor's Cat) sung all the other tracks and wrote all the lyrics herself!
This is the truth, many people still hope that Monica duet in some songs or something like that, it makes me laugh!
The album features the big hits "The Night" and "Get Closer" both successfully in Europe, the other songs are very nice, but didn't get the attention they need, probably because people noticed the voice was very different, by the way a good album, romantic!

She sings some, she fakes some.......2006-01-11

Although we LOVE Valerie Dore (real name: Monica Stucchi), this record confirms the legend (pun intended) that she did not sing most of her songs. The big hits (It's so easy, Into the Night) are actually sung by the woman that later was the lead singer of another Italo disco pop band (Novecento) and Valerie sang the rest... you can totally hear the different voices... but we forgive her because we love her hair, the fishnet stocking and gloves...

Classic Slow Italo Disco music.......2005-12-15

This, as another reviewer has pointed out, is Valerie Dore's complete album "The Legend" plus her three biggest hit singles in 12" form. A good selection of this mysterious singer's most famous hits, although it's not as complete as it could be.

The huge European hit single "The Night" and it's identi-kit follow up "Get Closer" are both here, together with Valerie's 3rd single "It's So Easy". The style is Italo or Eurodisco, but at a very sloooow BPM so it's quite dreamy and actually rather hard to dance to. This style has been called "Romantic Dance" and even "Sleaze Energy" (!!) by some Italo enthusiasts, and it's hard to find any other contemporary music style to compare it to, although other Italo artists have come close, such as "American Love" by Rose Laurens, and "It's You" by Sheila Stewart (try finding THAT one on CD, now!). The rest of this CD feature Valerie's rather strange take on the King Arthur legend which made up her 1986 themed album "The Legend".

Valerie Dore is actually a stage name, and singing duties were apparently swapped between two different singers, so it's hard to tell if the idea was the singer's own, or just a project created by some producer who was in need of a vocalist. I don't even know if the attractive young lady who appears on this cover as well as in TV appearances is actually responsible for the vocals. The songs vary in style from slow-dance to ballads and a couple of instrumentals, and although some of them seem weak on first listening, the album actually stands up quite well as a whole after a few listens. Sadly, if anything let's the music down it is the "Valerie Dore" vocal performance, which is rather thin and strained, plus her thick accent really chews up most of the English lyrics.

My only disappointment is that ZYX did not include the 12" single versions of "King Arthur" and "Lancelot" on here, instead of the short album mixes, plus Valerie also released a great single called "Wrong Direction" which is quite hard to find and would have made this collection even better. Instead, two really ghastly "club" mixes of "The Night" have been tacked on, which were obviously done a long time after the orginal time of release and are not in the spirit of the original sound at all. But hey, its the only Valerie Dore CD there is, so you ain't got much choice. A good basic compilation.

Arthurian Disco - I kid you not!.......2002-05-07

Although Valerie Dore is little known in the US, in the mid-80's she created a sensation in Europe with her Arthurian-themed album, LEGEND. All ten of the Arthurian songs from LEGEND plus a few singles from her other albums have been gathered together as THE BEST OF VALERIE DORE.

The music for the Arthurian-themed songs is by Marco Tansini and it's disco all right but it's "Italo Disco" -- more melodic and less aggressive than American dancemusic from the 80s. Imagine a cross between CAMELOT and FLASHDANCE and you've got the idea. The production values are not all that great but there are some bright and attractive dancetunes here as well as a couple of romantic and evocative slow songs.

The lyrics by Simona Zanini confure up a medieval never-never land of knights in shining armor, magic, and romance. "Lancelot" was the big hit single from the album, but there are other songs that I personally like better.

"The Wizard" paints a vibrant picture of Merlin at the height of his powers, full of confidence, exuberance, and life -- far from the stereotype of the doddering old man! This would be a great song for anyone wishing to tune into the youthful/Mercurial energies of The Magician archetype.

Arthur's relationship with Morgause/Morgaine is not spelled out but is hinted at in "The Magic Rain," in which somebody (Merlin?) catches ominous glimpses of the web of spells being woven around the king ("I see shadows fight alone on the ground, I see maidens calling out with no sound, I see signs in the air telling me what I've found...").

"Guinevere" is a dreamy reflection on the troubling beauty of the troubled queen ("Guinevere your eyes are like the sun... can they see through the shadows?"). Musically it reminds me of "Melody Fair" by the Bee Gees.

"The Sword In The Heart" is a love duet that sounds a lot like a Lionel Ritchie song. The theme of pain and betrayal and the image of the sword in the heart recall the scenes of Arthur's betrayal by Guinevere and Lancelot, and Merlin's betrayal by Morgan in EXCALIBUR.

And the cycle comes to an end with "The End of Story," as we close the storybook and come back to (sigh) real life.

In contrast to most disco songs, Zanini's lyrics are memorable for their poetry and imagery. Unfortunately, you can hardly understand them because of Valerie Dore's thick accent (she's from Morocco). My wiseguy roommate says that when she sings about King Arthur, it sounds like she's saying "King Ethel!"

And while Dore's voice is pretty enough -- it's nice to hear somebody sing instead of scream -- I find it rather thin, girlish, and unimpressive. Quite honestly, I think these songs would sound better if they were sung by somebody else! In my opinion, the strong point of this album is the songs, not the performance.

The non-Arthurian songs that fill out the album have standard disco lyrics and they don't do much for me. But I understand they were big hits in European dance clubs in the mid-80s.

Classic Radio Comedy.......2007-05-17

Hudson & Landry were (now both deceased) top notch, old school, morning drive time D.J.s. Being from the "old school" of radio broadcasting myself, where you actually touched the music you were playing with massive, iron tone arms on turntables that could play the old Wartime 16 inch radio recordings that were controlled through a Gates mixing board with huge volume knobs...I digress. Anyhow, in their day, Bruiser La Rue, the stereotypical 1960's homosexual male, was considered very risque for broadcast radio.

I enjoyed this CD immensely but am truly looking forward to ordering the box set with all of their material. If you are not familiar with Hudson & Landry, this is a good place to start without investing a lot of money. Now, if you enjoy radio comedy as I do, we have a local D.J. that's gone nation wide that you should check out, Roy D. Mercer! Greatest Fits: The Best of How Big'a Boy Are Ya? He's what I'd call "red neck humor". The skits are actual telephone calls that he's made on-the-air out of the Tulsa classic rock station and has some "bone to pick" with the unsuspecting person on the other end. He usually threatens to come down there are "kick ye *arse*" and a few other colorful analogies. Some of his words are bleeped from the radio but he's not over-the-top vulgar as are so many stand-up comedians these days. So if live radio comedy is your thing, this is a good one that follows the example set by the masters, Hudson & Landry.

One last trivia fact about this Hudson & Landry release is that the old Dore record label was commissioned for this pressing of this collection. I hadn't heard any thing from that label since the original "Percolator" song of the late 50's.

"Hi, Ace!!! Love your cufflinks!!!".......2005-07-26

I remember seeing these guys live on stage in Pueblo, Colorado, of all places in 1972, and while some of the bits lost something in translation due to the technology of the time not allowing for full "sound effects", I do remember doubling over in laughter at the sight of "Bruiser Larue" (Hudson) sashaying onto the stage in a lavender football jersey with the number 69 on it. A *classic* bit!!! They have remained one of my all-time favorite comedy acts to this day.
Of course, the various "Ajax" bits are timeless, except for the political correctness police having issues with the portrayal of the drunk, and of course, the "Obscene Phone Bust." These were bits that my college buddies and I would listen to along with Cheech and Chong, and soon phrases such as "Hi Ace!" and "Boy, I couldn't live like that" became part of our vocabularies.
Their humor, while slightly racier than what you would see from comics on TV at the time (early 70's), was probably overshadowed by the emerging rawness of Carlin, Pryor and others, so by today's standards Hudson and Landry could probably be considered extremely tame. But being "tame" doesn't mean it's not funny, and this stuff is hilarious.
The only reason I give this collection only 4 stars instead of 5 is for the disc itself and NOT the humor. The edited versions are a disappointment, and I think the collection could have included tracks such as "Ajax Pet Store" ("Here, Fred!") and the pair of Kearsarge bits.
If you're interested in discovering some truly underrated comedy, treat yourself to Hudson and Landry. This collection is a good place to start, but if you can find the original issues, by all means buy them and take a nice ride on "Ajax Airlines."

Boy, I couldn't live like that..........2004-02-25

A friend of mine & I used to ... er... borrow routines off of this album to perform at a local variety show. Even though most of our audience was fifty plus, and a packed house of 200-300 souls, it seemed to be the highlight of the Montague Variety Show for about nine years. Maybe it was only because we could speak loudly enough for our acoustically impaired audience to hear us, but we later heard of people's kids catching gopher snakes and naming them Floyd. It was funny that Montague Dollkemper was running for office, as that worked right into our town. We played that album to death, and totally loved every cut. These guys were comedic genuises, and I only wish I could hear everything they ever did. I'm ordering this right now, and heartily urge everyone else to do the same.

A blast from the past.......2003-04-15

Just wanted to throw my 2 cents worth in. I had the H and L album "Hanging in there" on 8 track in the mid-7o's, which got considerable air play on the radio here in conservative eastern Pa., especially placing the phone call to the Ajax Liquor Store.

Of course, the morning people in less conservative, anyway in the 7o's Pittsburgh (Like Jim Quinn and Obrien and Gary-who have a CD of their bits, a local version.) Played them quite heavily. Next to Cheech and Chong, they had to be the best.

The Best of Hudson & Landry.......2002-11-18

I first heard this over 20 years ago. The track "I Couldn't Live Like That" (my subtitle - The Prospectors) still makes me laugh. Floyd the rattlesnake adds a nice touch...
