This review is from: Day at the Races (Audio CD)

"Awchy, chawny, ain't I corny?" the great Groucho Marx sings in the song "Sing while you Sell" and the answer is basically, "Yes" - but that's the way we like it. Way out of the realm of "cool" this soundtrack features all those great songs from corny (the affore mentioned "Sing While You Sell), to concerto (Rachmaninov's Prelude In Do Mi, Op 23) that featured in the three Marx Brothers films "A Day at the Races", "Go West" and, my personal favourite "The Big Store". If you thought however, that the Marx Brothers were purely for visually comedy, just take a listen to the musicality behind beautifully crafted songs such as "Tenement Symphony" (The imagery in this song provides the ultimate New York experience!) There's no digital remastering here just the Marx Brothers in all their "scratchy" glory. The perfect album for any Marx Brothers afficinado or anyone just wishing to go back to a time of innocent and yes, corny, laughs.
