Product Description
Named after the fun-loving 17th Century serial perjurer and Catholic-bater Titus Oates, the eponymous Dallas-based rock combo released this lone psychedelic album on the Lips label in 1974. The album, which is extremely well recorded, has, despite the band's Texan origins, a decidedly West Coast feel. Although their Southern roots do occasionally come to the surface in the form of some excellent Allman Brothers-style dual-guitar interludes and a couple of heavy bass riff-focused power tunes. Radioactive.

Album Description
Holiday blues comin' on? Well, put a spike in `em! Here's the zaniest, wildest and just plain sickest Collectors' Choice Music exclusive yet79 tracks from Spike Jones and his City Slickers! These represent Spike's complete Standard Transcription sides, but these tunes are anything but standard; Mr. Jones brought his full bag of tricks for these non-commercial recordings (made in Hollywood during the early `40s). Add to that the fact that most of these have never been on CD or even LP, and any lover of Spike's mayhem-filled mixture of laughs and hot licks is going to flip over this set! Notes and great pictures accompany this 3-CD walk on the wacky side from the greatest novelty band of all time.

Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14
Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

Standard Transcription Collection.......2003-04-12
This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.

Customer Reviews:
Poor by modern standards........2004-10-01
I agree with "Music Fan".
I'm sure Mr Morgan is a decent player but this recording does him no favours. The tone is un-focused and at times comes accross as un-melodic. What's with the breaks in the line in The Swan?? Changing octave mid-phrase is ridiculous. Many of the pieces simply don't stand up to scrutiny.
Through history there aren't many tuba players I'd want to hear play a recital; Fletcher, Bobo and Jacobs come to mind.
Consider what the most recent recording generation of tubists are putting out and it's another Solar System. Do yourself a favour and check out Mssrs Szentpali, Baadsvic, Sheridan and-so-on to see where the tuba's at these days.
One Of My Favorites.......1999-09-21
Kevin Morgan's great, and his choice of music is wonderful-recommended in the highest terms!
Spend your money on a "real" pro!!.......1999-03-23
Being a tubist myself, I am always on the look out for a good recorging. If you are in the mood for someone who knows how to push alot of valves in not a lot of time, then this CD is perfect for you. It is full of it! Granted, there are plentey of lyrical phrases which are played very nicely, but to give it the title "Virtouso," come on. You would be wise to spend your money on a Roger Bobo, or Sam Pilafian CD.

Light Listening.......2000-09-25
An interesting compilation of arrangements, specifically of interest to us bassoonists! Well played, and a clear, balanced recording. I enjoyed the Bassoonists Holiday and the Pink Panther numbers especially. Nice to have a bit of variety with violin, vocals and percussion on some of the tracks.

Solid southern rock without redneckisms.......2005-07-06
An overall very good classic southern rock kind of sound. Good guitar and band playing, decent vocals, tunes and lyrics. Not necessarily essential, but if you've got all the Potliquor, Wet Willie and White Witch records, you probably should have this. CAVEAT: This was mastered from an LP, not tape and the record skips on track 6 at 3:29! Sucks!

Customer Reviews:
Skip this CD.......2007-02-13
This CD seems to have gone out of its way to trnsfer the worst VHS tapes to CD Audio and package it as classic film scores. The short excerpts are very bad and fade out just as the tempo begins to build. If you love film noir, skip this CD. If you are interested in film noir, skip this CD.
Great soundtracks "from the original films!".......2006-08-06
I feel compelled to respond to some of the negative criticism below. This is not a collection of restored and re-recorded scores by a modern orchestra. These are the original soundtracks from the films themselves. Given that they are in mono and suffer from age, they cannot possibly be judged by the same criteria as a modern recording. BUT, as a collection of noir soundtracks, they are superb. It's a huge list of title tracks from great films noir. And, as many of these are unavailable as restored and re-recorded scores, it is a wonderful disc to have in your collection. If the only scores you like are high-fidelity, however, then this is definitely not for you. But this disc also can't be judged by those sonic standards. For those of you who desire to listen to some of this more obscure film music--just as it would sound playing the video on your TV--then this is a great disc to have.
Good for fans.......2006-01-18
Given that there are very few Film Noir compilation soundtrack cd's available, I'd say this one works just fine for what it is. It's certainly not the most polished work, but it does have a lot of film scores and no fan should be without it. I'm glad I bought it.
It's at today missing for me........2006-01-15
I am waiting this CD in my home. At today it's missing. Take note of this,please.
Not For Audiophiles, But Wonderful for the Rest of Us!.......2006-01-13
I thought that this disc was quite possibly the best attempt so far at cataloging some of the best themes of the film-noir genre. It leaves out the dialogue snippets that break up the feel and mood of the music, and some of the selections are, quite simply, marvelous. Also, the compilers here were brave enough to include some of the rarer and seldom-mentioned noirs for inclusion here. If you're an audiophile, you must realize that these recordings are SIXTY YEARS OLD, for goodness sakes. I'll never understand why some people put so much stake in stereo sound and crystal clear remastering. I happen to feel that the gritty mono (which really isn't nearly as bad as has been suggested) heightens the hardbitten feel of these works. So, if you're someone who enjoys authentic film music, give this a shot! If you're expecting something butchered, repackaged, and changed around for modern tastes, don't bother with this collection!
