5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, August 1, 1999

By A Customer

This is the first Manhattan Transfer cd I've bought, and it's absolutely outstanding! Their vocal blend blows my mind. I got it in a used cd store, and why anyone would have given it up is beyond me.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

My family had only this album of the Manhattan transfer for a long time, and recently bought another one, but this is the one I fell in love with. I love the front cover, I adore the picture on the CD, but most of all, I love the music. This is a GREAT addition to any collection of their songs or of jazz, and an awesome introduction to the marvelous group known as Manhattan Transfer.
My favorite songs on this CD are: Birdland, Tuxedo Junction, Twighlight Zone, and Trickle Trickle.
(Heh, as if you wanted to know about some random person who uses the internet)

5.0 out of 5 stars Quickly Became My Favourite CD, January 6, 2004

Since buying this CD for the bargain of $4 recently, I have listened to it daily and never tired of it.

The amazing harmonies, some pop tunes, a swing number, some jazzy songs with great band accompaniment are great.

My favourite songs are:
Java Jive
Operator
Birdland
A Nightingale Sang In Berkely Square
Four Brothers
Candy
Gloria
Body and Soul
Tuxedo Junction
Boy From New York City

Except for the exception of "Twilight Zone", a pretty awful song with cheeseball introduction that is very bad in comparison with the other wonderful tracks, this CD is very good. I am not a fan of live recordings, and Tuxedo Junction is live, but still good.
