3.0 out of 5 stars Nice but hardly definitive, October 22, 2003

Nice collection of big band and easy listening standards, though some are taken from scratchy masters - V-Discs and other Armed Forces Radio sources, I suspect. And, while we're at it, a number of these tracks were cut long after "the war years." I mean, Dusty Springfield, Rod McKuen, Liberace? What war are we talking about, exactly? Anyway, the highlights include renditions by Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, and other giants of the swing era. The Louis Armstrong cut, by the way, is a recitation sans music.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Collection, December 3, 2005

If you love a classic, Christmas-by-the-fire musical collection, this is it. These are original songs from radio broadcasts to the American military (complete with songs and even a couple of vintage commercials). Ever since I stumbled across this collection a couple of years ago, no Christmas would be complete without it. Get a mug of eggnog or mulled cider, turn on the Christmas lights, get the fire going, and then relax and enjoy.

Excellent quality. Fans of 40s music will love this collection. Very 'home-based' songs.
