| | (Not) Your Standard Spike Jones Collection Soundtrack CD (3 Customer Reviews)
Spike Jones' free-for-all approach, satirizing and parodying everything in sight, came into its own during World War II, a time when his humor provided needed relief for troops abroad and those waiting at home. Not Your Standard Spike Jones Collection brings together three discs (over three hours of music) of material from radio transcriptions recorded during the war. It isn't surprising, then, that a number of Jones' songs poke fun at the enemy, nor that his first gold record was "Der Fuehrer's Face." While Carl Grayson's delivery, complete with a bad German accent, is funny enough, Jones' band's musical commentary provides the perfect backdrop. Of course, certain songs like "You're a Sap Mister Jap" will seem offensive today, but these transcriptions serve as a historical document as much as entertainment. There are also great versions of classics like "Sheik of Araby" and "That Old Black Magic," with Jones and his musical partners turning the most romantic song inside out. Bells, whistles, trombones, and banjos raise a ruckus, reminding one of a New Orleans jazz band that refuses to take its work seriously. Listeners will also not want to miss such oddities as "Boogie Woogie Cowboy" and "City Slicker Polka." The 79 selections on Not Your Standard Spike Jones Collection provide a welcome overview of the bandleader's work from the 1940s and a nice snapshot of the era. ~ Ronnie Lankford, Jr.
Subtitled - Not Your Standard Spike Jones Collection. Holiday blues comin' on? Well, put a spike in 'em! Here's the zaniest, wildest & just plain sickest Collectors' Choice Music exclusive yet-79 tracks from Spike Jones & 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, & any lover of Spike's mayhem-filled mixture of laughs & hot licks is going to flip over this set! Notes & great pictures accompany this 3-CD set...walk on the wacky side with the greatest novelty band of all time. Tri-fold paper sleeve.
