Editorial Reviews

With 218 chart hits and over a million records sold, Guy Lombardo’s catalog is indeed deep, and we’ve chosen a particularly interesting spot to dive into: the first recordings of his career! These 24 Columbia and Brunswick sides—dating from 1928 to 1934—have for the most part never appeared on CD, and they feature the forgotten Lombardo, Carmen, who sings and plays lead sax on all of these cuts. This is the stuff that made the Royal Canadians the household word they still are today, as all but one track was a Top Ten hit; Joe Laredo tells the story in the accompanying notes. A sweet, sweet Collectors’ Choice Music exclusive!
