3.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Page pix hawk classic spy-jazz, April 21, 1999

This review is from: Betty Page: Danger Girl (Audio CD)

The stunning foldout packaging features dozens of classic Irving Klaw photos of Betty Page at the very pinnacle of her modeling career. The disc itself, naturally, has absolutely nothing to do with Page, Klaw, or burlesque. Instead, this is an excellent collection of 22 tracks of "spy jazz." Dramatic, horn-driven arrangements, heavy on the percussion (bongos and tympani abound) and twangy early-60s guitars. The lack of liner notes leaves the origins of these tracks to the listener's imagination, but given the titles (e.g., "Path of Crime" "Johnny's Dive" "The Big Strip" and the title track, "Danger Girl") one can conjure up some great sources. The composer list will be unfamiliar to all but avid soundtrack collectors, with John Barry (Bond films and an extensive career in movie scores) being the best known. The obscurity of the music's origins, however, only adds to the overall air of this package's mystery.

4.0 out of 5 stars James bond style intrumentals with bettyesque style!, June 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Betty Page: Danger Girl (Audio CD)

This is the first release in a trilogy using betty's pics to market the cd. The pics are all by Irving Klaw and well done. The booklet is worth the price alone...well almost. The music is all instrumental bond/burlesque style melodies. You've heard some of it on tv commercials. Its snappy! Very well done and nicely displayed!
