2.0 out of 5 stars Four stars for the album, one star for lousy transfer from VINYL!, December 2, 2008

This album is a well-loved, if quirky, novelty by many of Bing Crosby's fans. While it has its failings (primarily the title track), it also has some strong moments from a legendary singer in his mid-60s.

HOWEVER, this "Copyright Group" that put this album up on iTunes transferred this from A VINYL RECORD ALBUM, and didn't even do a very good job. To start with, the whole album runs SLOW... that's why he sounds so out of key on the "Hey Jude" track sample. Also, you can hear occasional crackles and distortion and muddiness on the samples that clearly indicate this was taken from an old vinyl record.

Where is the master tape? It's around somwhere... we know Rhino had it about a decade ago when they did their "Golden Throats" CD featuring the track "Hey Jude." Did this fall out of copyright, only to be issued by this "Copyright Group" from the only source they could find?

If it wasn't going to be better than this, they shouldn't have bothered.

This album has never been released on CD and many of us have been waiting for it for years. Sadly, the whole album has been transferred at the wrong speed. So don't buy it. Bing sounds a lot better than this usually.

What a shame, Why ? I fully agree with comments of others buyers. It's a shame to treat Mr Crosby like that.. about this CD, i have just one thing to say : HORRIBLE, i'm asking how it is possible to sale sush an awful thing. The sound is horrible, i've vinyls in bad conditions who plays better than this CD. Really, it was horrible to listen that. I found it was normal to inform you others Crosby's fans.
