Customer Reviews:
A legendary album.......2006-01-06
This album was produced by Joan Deary who, at the time, was supposed to become Elvis's next producer after Felton Jarvis. Jarvis had been Elvis's own producer since 1966 but by 1974 nobody could get Elvis in the studio, not even Jarvis although RCA Records relied on him. They thought Jarvis was incompetent and they wanted to get rid of him, the record sales were becoming really bad since mid-1973 so RCA put Joan Deary in charge of Elvis's back catalogue. She did a tremendous job with LEGENDARY PERFORMER, the fans and the critics were happy and the mass audience could get another view of Elvis.
Elvis would do only three more recording sessions before his death (one in 1975, two in 1976), not showing at a fourth one on January 1977. Jarvis tried everything he could to keep his job, promising new songs and new records to RCA while Elvis did evrything he could to stop them. He was so bored at that time, full of medication, waiting for death.
This album (the first of the four volumes) did very well in the charts, selling more copies than Elvis's new records. But it did some good for his career too because just before his death his record sales began to rise again. His new albums sold more copies while the back catalogue did very well too.
It's truly a great album and I'm not sure Deary would have made a better job than Jarvis but at least she was the first person at RCA Records to take care of Elvis's musical legacy.

This "greatest hits" package begins with "Moonlight Serenade," the theme song of trombonist/band leader Glenn Miller's orchestra. The creamy, luxurious sound owes its character to the voicing of Wilbur Schwarz on clarinet over Hal McIntyre, Stanley Aronson, and Al Klink's alto saxophones and Tex Beneke's tenor sax. Three trumpets, three trombones, piano, bass, drums, and guitar complete the lineup. Miller's arrangement style was ensemble-oriented with a minimum of soloing and the emphasis on the song's melodic hook, which is why so many of these songs, including "Little Brown Jug," "Tuxedo Junction," "A String of Pearls," "In the Mood," and "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" were such big hits. --John SwensonCustomer Reviews:
Glenn Miller Live!.......2005-07-05
A wonderful CD (but the tape is better).......2002-08-15
If you enjoy Glen Miller, you will enjoy this CD, but if you ever heard Elmer's Tune or Piano Concerto No.!, this CD is a horrible let down.
Great Music And History..........2001-10-30
poor quality.......2001-04-13
Not Exactly a Greatest Hits Package.......2001-03-26
Especially notable are seelctions from his first broadcast from the Glen Island Casino, the engagement that gave him his big break, and from his last two performances on the air before leaving to join the army. There are tracks included from other notable dates as well, including the occasion when he received the first Gold Record ever.

This collection of Audio CDs gathers up Benny radio programs spanning a period of 1938 to 1953. (A detailed listing of shows is provided below.)
Big-name stars of the era were no strangers to "The Jack Benny Program". In this grouping of programs alone you'll hear such stars as Bing Crosby, Barbara Stanwyck, Jimmy Stewart, Orson Welles, Red Skelton, Bob Hope, Tyrone Power, and many others.
Along with the famous guest stars who would pop up each week, the Benny Program featured a first-rate regular cast: Don Wilson, Mary Livingstone (Jack's real-life wife), Dennis Day, Kenny Baker, Larry Stevens, Bob Crosby, Mel Blanc, Frank Nelson, Phil Harris, and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson. Many of the regulars in this group stayed with Mr. Benny throughout the entire run of the series, on both radio and TV.
In 2002, "Radio Spirits, Inc." (experts in providing Old-Time Radio material on CD and cassette tape) released this slick set of Compact Discs, featuring 20 radio episodes of "The Jack Benny Program" on ten CDs. Each disc has two full-length, thirty-minute Benny radio shows. Audio quality is very good, with each program having been "digitally restored and remastered". The 10 discs are housed in a compact, book-like package, with double-sided sleeves provided to hold the individual CDs. The sturdy plastic package measures approximately 7.0" (W) x 6.5" (H).
This set also includes an informative 32-page booklet, which provides details on the history of the Benny Program, along with a full page of info and data on each of the twenty radio shows in this CD set. Several rare and high-quality B&W photos are also included throughout the booklet.

--------------------------
This multi-disc set yields a very satisfying sampling of Benny episodes. Plenty of laughs with Jack Benny and his famous guests are in store for the owner of this stylish CD set of Old-Time Radio programs. Jack's deadpan humor and ever-present penny-pinching gags were (and still are today) guaranteed to evoke a chuckle or two, or three -- or maybe even 39 -- Jack's favorite number. :-)
In short, Jack's programs are just good clean fun. And, IMO, they hold up as well in the 21st century as they did all those many years ago when the shows first crackled over the radio airwaves.
