This is a must-add to all Miller fans! The Moonlight Serenade cut is not the usual one heard on older efforts. Stardust sounds like it was written for the Glenn Miller Band.Good sampling of GM"s Best!

THE BEST OF GLENN MILLER contains radio transcriptions and LP tracks, both complete with a touch of surface crackle. The extraneous noise and inherent limitations in dynamics do little to detract from what is top notch material by one of the very best orchestras of the Big Band Era. Liner notes for the songs include year of release and running times. There's also a one-page synopsis of Glenn Miller's career.

I have some reservations about this album's genesis--

The label says FIRST CHOICE. The manufacturer (INTERSOUND) is American, yet the disc was distributed by them in Canada. That's probably how they skirted around RCA's copyright restrictions. Nowhere on this CD does it say: "Licensed by," etc. Its amusing and perhaps hypocritical that this INTERSOUND Inc. knockoff comes with a warning to the user not to reproduce the CD in any form! (Their catalog, by the way, includes artists from every major label.)

RUNNING TIME-- 40:50
