This review is from: Just A-Rockin' & A-Jivin' - Anthology Vol.1, 1941-46 (Audio CD)
As BMG and UMG permit the masters to rot in their vaults (while begging to extend the current copyright terms!), our European collector-cousins come to the rescue with the first in-depth cross-label compilations of this wonderful and important vocal group.

Sound quality is variable as the producers worked from original pressings (and you collectors know what the Deccas sound like in mint condition!) but this should not deter anyone from picking up both this and its companion volume. The DRB had one of the most beautiful vocal blends of all singing groups; they helped pioneer the sub-genre known as "vocalise" on classic tracks like "Take The 'A' Train" and inspired countless imitators.

If you like doo-wop, pop vocal groups or vocal jazz, you should own these discs.
