3.0 out of 5 stars Complete Clyde McCoy On Columbia, September 2, 2002

I've always had a soft spot for The Big Band Era, especially the 1920's and 30's. I grew up listening to my dad's and grandfather's old 78's before Rock n'Roll hit the scene, however, sometimes when you have heard the original recordings, it's difficult to get in tune with an alternate. Please note that there are a few exceptions to the rule, even though these were the first recordings of Clyde McCoy on Columbia, it definitely lacks the more energetic toe-tapping songs done for Decca. The CD here represents the artists' first recordings and are done quite well! However, some day Decca/MCA will release the others, and until then....this is it!

I am a great fan of Clyde McCoy. This CD is a VERY Lo-Fi version of his music. The music is there, but is totaly lifeless. I highly reccomend the 2 Other CD'S listed below. I intend to add my copy of this CD to my For Sale list.

The Hi-Fi 1936 Radio Transcriptions CD is VERY Superior in sound quality (Bought 2 Copies).

The Clyde McCoy and his Orchestra 1951 CD is also VERY Superior in sound quality (Bought 2 Copies).

For years I've carried around in my head Clyde McCoy's "Sugar Blues." I must have heard it as a kid and it never went away. So when I heard that song on a Public Radio broadcast and the credit said Clyde McCoy's work was out in a single CD with 2 dozen songs, I ordered it right away. It's out of print but one of Amazon's dealers had a single copy of the CD, "used -- but like new."

There are over 20 songs the McCoy orchestra played from the late '20's into the WWII years -- all remastered and very good. If you are into music from the Twenties and Thirties -- get a copy if you can. You'll be in nostalgia heaven. I promise!
