I disagree with the reviews I have read of this CD. I think it's fabulous, in fact I bought a second one for my mother. It's true that the sound quality is not up to today's standard, but that's part of the charm; it creates a real nostalgia. I also enjoyed the recordings of the live performances -- makes you want to dust off your zoot suit and join the crowd! I thnk this version is one of the most upbeat in tempo and style, and I highly recommend it.
August 18, 2000In my opinion, this is not in anyway, shape or form; any configuration past, present, or future, an authourized recording by The Mills Brothers. If a recording like this was released under the name and likeness of Frank Sinatra (may he rest in peace) it would be considered a crime scene. As for the Ink Spots, I am not sure whose protecting their reputation, but I beleive the originals would turn in their graves! Perhaps a different title could be used for this recording. I suggest "The Butchering of Great Artists". If this was medicine, someone would be sued for malpractice.
July 12, 2000This is a lousy recording with crowd noise, bad recording levels, and terrible quality. I am sorry I bought it and have since gone with a better "classic" collection which better represents these fantastic harmonists. Do NOT buy this CD! unless you hate the Mills Brothers.
December 6, 1999I am very disappointed with this CD. The quality is awful. Some of the songs sound like they were played back on a 78 RPM Victrola into a cheap tape recorder.
Some of the tracks are recordings of live appearances, probably later in their careers, so they really don't represent their original talents.
If I had known that many of the tracks were recorded live, and of such low quality, I probably would not have ordered the CD.
Bottom line: if you want original recordings that represent the true talents of these groups, look for a different CD. May 7, 1999
