4.0 out of 5 stars
Worthwhile for Como fans, March 15, 2011
These recordings are National Guard radio programs. The condition of the radio programs is very good, though not pristine. Several of the songs are very similar to Victor recordings Perry did (It's A Good Day, It Happened In Monterey, For Me And My Gal). Several are numbers Perry never recorded (The Night Is Young, He, Stardust, Lover Come Back To Me -- probably not the song you think it is). Others are very different arrangements of songs Perry recorded (Hoop Dee Doo, I Found A Million Dollar Baby, I Believe). Two songs that were huge hits for Perry -- Hot Diggity and Juke Box Baby -- well, I can't decide if he did them live here (I think so) or if he lip-synced...they're so close. The songs Perry had never recorded are not quite so well done, but overall, Perry's voice is in good form here. And every once in a while, Perry belts one out, reminding us that he was not always soft-spoken when he sang. Definitely recommended for Como fans.
