The "Golden Age" referred to here spans The Jazz Singer and the advent of the talkies to the death throes of the old studio system in the 1960s. So vast was the era's musical landscape that even this 42-track, double-disc anthology can't encompass all its peaks. Not surprisingly, the bulk of this collection originated with the Tiffany's of the screen musical, M-G-M, a body of work whose riches here encompass both pop-cultural bedrock ("Over the Rainbow," "Singin' in the Rain," "There's No Business Like Show Business," etc.) and some less familiar, if equally delightful star turns: Clark Gable gamely "Puttin' On the Ritz"; the sassy, 1948 original of "The Lady Is a Tramp" by Lena Horne; and a loopy duet of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban. Fred Astaire's elegant, epochal reign at RKO and M-G-M is represented by "Night and Day," "Let's Face the Music and Dance," and three others, while Metro mainstays Gene Kelly and Judy Garland share equal time and billing. It's not perfect--Cagney's "Yankee Doodle Boy" and/or some Sinatra seem more logical choices than the odd "bonus" duet of Casablanca's "As Time Goes By" and "Lara's Theme" from Dr. Zhivago that close out disc one--but it's a stunning, surprisingly comprehensive primer on the Hollywood film musical nonetheless. --Jerry McCulley

They were right--there is NO business like the show business they did way back when !!!.......2006-11-18

Everything that happens in life
Can happen in a show
You can make 'em laugh
You can make 'em cry
Anything
Anything can go....

The clown with his pants falling down
Or the dance that's a dream of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean
That's entertainment!

The lights on the lady in tights
Or the bride with the guy on the side
Or the ball where she gives him her all
That's entertainment!

The plot and the hot simply teeming with $ex
A gay divorcee who is after her ex
It could be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his father
And causes a lot of bother

The clerk who is thrown out of work
By the boss who is thrown for a loss
By the skirt who is doing him dirt

The world is a stage,
The stage is a world of entertainment!

This two CD set amply proves that the musical melodies and lyrics from the golden age of the Hollywood musical remain unsurpassed to this day. This generous two CD set offers 42 incredible songs from Hollywood classic musicals. Most of these fine numbers are indeed from MGM, as Amazon correctly notes; but there are some RKO numbers and even a little from Warner Brothers. Thank goodness, though, that most of these songs came from MGM movies; MGM was the only studio that could boast that it truly had "more stars than there are in the heavens."

I love so many songs on these two CDs. Of course, there's the unforgettable classic "Over The Rainbow" sung by Judy Garland; she also performs "Easter Parade" and "Get Happy" on this two CD set and she carries most of the tune for "I Got Rhythm" even though Mickey Rooney helps her a little. I love "Baby, It's Cold Outside" for its' romantic overtones; and Lena Horne's "The Lady Is A Tramp" is flawless! We also get a rare chance to hear Clark Gable sing in "Puttin' On The Ritz;" and Bing Crosby's "Going Hollywood" may be brief but it's a fun song anyway.

There are two "bonus" tracks on the first CD: "As Time Goes By" from Casablanca and "Lara's Theme" from Doctor Zhivago. "As Time Goes By" is a good choice; it is another unsurpassed classic song that brings back memories and touches even the hardest of hearts. "Lara's Theme," however, is from the mid 1960s and I don't consider this period to be part of the "golden age" of Hollywood musicals.

The liner notes are excellent and they offer wonderful photos of the stars as well. The cover art is well done and the reverse cover art tells which movie each song is from and who is performing each song. Moreover, the quality of the sound is excellent especially when you consider that these numbers were recorded quite a few decades ago.

In short, this superlative two CD highlights the glory of the Hollywood musical when a certain type of sophistication dominated professional movie production. I highly recommend this CD for fans of Hollywood musicals, classic pop vocals and fans of the artists and actors who perform on this two CD set.

One of the best cds I ever bought. .......2006-06-07

What an amazon collection of songs! This is bar none my favorite cd just because of the variety and the quality of songs on it. I love music from this era, and this cd is the perfect companion to my life. Love it! Buy it, you won't regret it for a moment!

Never Sounded Better.......2006-03-16

Apart from the great selection of soundtracks, what really makes this compilation top value is the quality of the sound processing. Executed with finesse, these tracks sound better than when first issued and many are unedited, fuller versions: like "Singing In The Rain", for example. Throw in the great price, and this double disc set is a "must have" for all lovers of classic movie music.

It was once said by the songwriters of that era - "There are two artists you want perform your songs on the big screen, they are Fred Astaire and Judy Garland they sing it just the way we wrote it, for which you will have a guaranteed hit on your hands"...well, this collections certainly has some merit to that statement...because with Judy Garland and Fred Astaire performing seven songs each, there must be something to it.

This collection of musicals still has the magic that we remember from those bygone years...but as long as we have the labels and networks who play and show these wonderful films of yesteryear, they will never be forgotten...hats off to Rhino Records, George Feltenstein (producer) and Doug Schwartz (engineer) and Turner Classic Movies for sharing those 42 selections from 42 films...celebrating decades of the tunes and artists that gave it their all...from what it commonly called "The Hollywood Dream Factory"...The Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals is still among us...gotta love it!

Customer Reviews:

Come back to the five-and-dime, Gunilla Thorn, Gunilla Thorn.......2004-07-30

You just have to suggest that one of the best uses of this collection would be to supply LOTS OF offbeat novelty tunes to a drag show, hands down, IMO! From the growling delightfulness of Gunilla Thorn's "Go on Then" and "Merry-Go-Round" ("...you can't ex-cape it, no matter how hard you try...") to "Hobbies" sung by Jenny Moss. There's a funny lyric in a Connie Francis tune "(I Love to) Sing Along" about..."If I forget the words I'm singin', I keep a-singin' "Tra-la-la-la-la-la La!" that ought to apply to "Hobbies" (La-la-la-la-la-la-HOBBIES!)!

Also, I have heard the Ginny Arnell version of "Dumb Head" and just when you think that wasn't silly enough, Joe Meek takes it one level more surreal with "The Sharades"! Great other unique and uniquely strange tunes on this like Congo-beat "My Johnny doesn't Come Around"; "Ringling bros. meets a-go-go" - "Who's that Girl" (Diane & Javelins); One-name & unintentionally funny "Yolanda" doing "With this Kiss" (..I giff my kiss...I giff my heart..they're yours, my love..please say...we'll ne---ver part..!"); also "Big Boys" with lyrics like..."when I run downstairs at breakfast time...and start to crack my eggs....", etc.!!

Lastly I have to wonder if Meek's inspiration for wanting to do Joy & Dave's "Let's Go see Granma'" was from watching American TV shows like "Green Acres/Petticoat Junction/Hee Haw" to inspire such a funny tune! Nothing like a couple of Brits imitating American rural culture! All around fun set of unique tunes that aren't just the kind that are "cute the first two times you hear them, then ANNOYING any time after that!!

If you find this, do the right thing!.......2004-04-02

I must add on to Hasbro's comments below - "Dumbhead" is incredible! I have yet to hear the original, but I doubt it can touch the production-madness of Meek's. However, the women singing 'Dumbhead' (the Sharades) also do a song on the CD titled 'Boy Trouble', on which they go into vocal hysteria! It's as if they're trying to outdo the Proclaimers. I really do wish these ladies had recorded more. This CD is enjoyable and definitely worth having. Of course, not EVERY track will knock your socks off ('Let's Go See Gran'ma' will knock the boots though...you'll see), but that's to be expected. HIGHLIGHTS (in my opinion): 'I Lost My Heart At the Fairground', 'Hobbies', 'My Johnny Doesn't Come Around', & 'Please Don't Say Goodbye' - to name a few. Do pick this one up, you'll be glad you did.

Buy It For Dumbhead.......2002-08-14

I'll only mention what other reviews haven't so far: the song "Dumbhead" is by far one of the all-time greatest unintentionally-insane songs ever recorded. Two nasal, self-deprecating ladies belting it out in a cave backed by a flatulent keyboard. Please, please buy this album if only for Dumbhead. Without a doubt my favorite Joe Meek moment.

For completists and historians only.......2001-08-28

I just got this at a bargain price from Amazon.co.uk. Its great for completists and Meek collectors, and even for those who want to know about girl singers or production methods of the 1960s. But it's not very listenable. There are about four really good tracks on it, and no stars with the possible exception of Glenda Collins.

Fantastic Document of Brit Girl Rock & Pop.......2001-07-27

...Joe Meek did not record nearly as many female artists as male artists. However, this might just as well be because of the greater difficulty female artists experienced securing radio exposure in the 1960s. Nonetheless, this superb collection demonstrates Meek's efforts with a respectable number of girl singers and, at the same time, provides a great sampler of archetypal British girl records from the early 1960s.

Because Meek was an independent who merely leased his masters to the record labels, and he has long been dead, his master tapes have been scattered to the winds and sometimes destroyed. For this reason, many of the tracks on this collection could not be mastered from a proper source and therefore suffer sonically. Forgive the fuzzy sound and enjoy the great music.

There are so many great moments on this disc, including the consistently superb work of Meek's only longtime female singer, Glenda Collins, who is represented here by her first Meek opus "I Left My Heart at the Fairground" complete with galloping "Telstar" rhythm and fairground noises, her classic rockaballad "Baby It Hurts," with its vibrato guitar and saxophone fills and truly campy lyrics, and then a great unreleased track "This Little Girl's Gone Rockin'." There are the two sides to Pamela Blue's iconoclastic depresso single "My Friend Bobby" and "Hey There Stranger." There are Flip's two great mid-60s soul numbers "Mama Didn't Lie" and "My Johnny Doesn't Come Around" and then her amazing rockabilly "Listen to Me." There are the two sides to Jenny Moss' terrific single "Hobbies" b/w "Big Boys" and a relatively clean version of "Please Let It Happen to Me" which would end up in the soundtrack for the film "Live It Up" with extensive additional arrangements. Then there are the two gnomish bubblegum numbers from Swedish model Gunilla Thorne "Merry Go-Round" and "Go On, Then," the latter with Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. Those Swedish models never can sing, can they?

For girl rock collectors, this set is a must. For Joe Meek initiates, this set is also a must.

Amazon.com

The exploits of Ian Fleming's British super-agent James Bond have long since become the longest running film series in history, spanning 40 years and counting. Not the least of the cycle's charm has been its music, a body of work that encompasses pop clichés (the twangy guitar of Monty Norman's original "James Bond Theme") and elegant underscores alike. While this collection spans music from Dr. No to The World Is Not Enough, decades of various legal entanglements prevented it from becoming the ultimate Bond music anthology. This is more a credible simulation, a newly recorded collection of cues and suites (including music previously unreleased on the original soundtracks) performed by Nic Raine and the City of Prague Symphony Orchestra. With John Barry's lush, ever-evocative scores both forming the core and setting the tone (but also featuring the work of George Martin, David Arnold, Michael Kamen, Bill Conti, and Eric Serra), it's the most comprehensive--if not exactly authentic--collection of Bond music yet attempted. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

almost the perfect James Bond collection.......2005-07-20

this 4 CD box has most of the familiar James Bond compositions.

Still,some tunes are missing(from for instance Thunderball and For Your Eyes Only)and most of the time the attention is on the instrumental version of the title track which is a bit of a shame.And yet,there are too many great pieces on this collection to make it a failure.Alpine Drive,Dawn Raid at Fort Knox,On Her Majesty's Secret Service(every track),Miss Goodhead and so on.All great pieces that not only show the great talent of John Barry but also the great power of James Bond films.Cause when you hear the music,you see the scenes in front of you.

Very much a recommendation to all Bond and Barry fans although sometimes it focusses too much on title songs.The only solution is to buy all separate soundtracks.

Good Collection.......2005-02-24

Very nice packaging and good tracks from the Bond music library make this an anoutstanding item. "From Russia With Love" and "Diamonds Are Forever" contain beautiful and energetic renditions. The John Barry music is handled quite well. I didn't real care for the David Arnold selections. "The World Is Not Enough" was weak. Overall it is a good collection just the same.

Not excatly what I expected.......2003-04-10

I when I read some of the reviews of this I thought that this was a complete collection of all the originals of the Theme songs of every James Bond movie and remakes done by the Prague Philharmonic of some of the other songs in the various movies. After recieveing this ... I started to listen to it and found out that it was all done by the orchestra. The are very good, but to a point it is not the same thing as owning a disc will all the orignal songs on it. Overall, this good if all the you want is the orchestral versions of most of the songs in the movies or the suites out of some of the movies. To a point these don't compare to the orignals. Keep looking if you want a set with all the orignals songs in it.

The James Bond CD for the John Barry purist?.......2003-01-28

Let's cut to the chase. Nic Raine and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do John Barry's work justice. 90% of this collection is as close as you can get to the original James Bond soundtracks. The other 10% lends itself to some artistic license with respect to the arrangements. Most notable is the main theme to Goldfinger. Also Nic slips in a few previously unreleased tracks. You will find these on the On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Golden Eye tracks. This CD boxed set is definitely made for the Bond soundtrack fan. The die hard John Barry "purist"/ traditionalist may find some of these tracks questionable at first, but after a few times Nic Raine's artistic license gives a fresh perspective to the familiar Bond/ Barry themes. The only reservation I have with this CD set is with some of selections that are performed. For instance, from Goldfinger, "Dawn Raid At Fort Knox" was a poor selection considering the selection available on that particular soundtrack. The most famous 007 soundtrack of all I dare say. Overall Nic hits the mark, and this CD set is a tribute to Barry's (as well as, George Martin's, Marvin Hamlish's, and Bill Conti's and David Arnold's) work. It's all here in one collection. I am a die-hard Bond soundtrack fan, and to the casual soundtrack fan I say this CD is set all you need to experience the Bond music legacy. To those who are hard core 007 soundtrack fans ...this is a FANTASTIC "addition" to your collection. This has to be the BEST (and probably the only) 007 "soundtrack" compilation. Whereas all the others feature the "main themes" from the Bond films as originally recorded, this one truly gives you the Bond experience.

Very enjoyable with most of the BOND music you'd want........2002-12-08

This is similar but more comprehensive than another BOND collection on one CD by the City of Prague Philharmonic. These are good renditions but clearly not the orginals. I must ask if the Prague Philharmonic does not own a harp? It is glaringly missing in the Goldfinger themes and i am sure on others. That harp is an exciting and beautiful touch to the wonderful GOLDFINGER theme and its absents is unfortuneatly very noticeable. Also some of the other themes can even sound muzaky if thats a word(elevator music)
It gets 3 solid stars good collection yet defineatly something is lacking.
