5.0 out of 5 stars If You Love Hal Roach Comedies, Buy This, September 5, 2002

This makes a great soundtrack to your kids' lives, if you have youngenz playing around the stereo as we do ... another companion disc is now out of print, but find that one too, as that has other pieces this does not. The liner notes are fascinating ... anyone who grew up watching The Rascals will LOVE this lovingly reproduced collection of Roach backgrounds ... though I've read some fishhook jabs in other reviews about The Beau Hunks not getting EVERY SINGLE NOTE exactly right, those people should remember, if they read the accompanying literature, that the group had no sheet music to play from for that first cd - all done by ear. Because the original material is unavailable except from the films themselves, this is the only way to enjoy this music, sans the voice tracks, without your TV on. As good as it gets, and it was recorded live with two overhead mikes, as in the old days. I give this unique recording a 5 out of 5 mikes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beau Hunks And God, March 20, 2004

In the same sentence? Why not? This group of musicians have taken selected soundtracks of the Gang/Rascals and given it what it's needed for years - high fidelity and stereo. As far as I'm concerned, the Beau Hunks walk on water. This a perfect CD for rush hour traffic, a candlelight dinner or a child that you're trying to interest in orchestral delights.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to the Beau Hunks Time Machine, October 18, 2004

Until time travel becomes possible, the next best thing is listening to The Beau Hunks Little Rascals music recreation CD.

Accurately and artfully reproducing the feel, character and tonic image of the original Leroy Shield's evocotive background music, Hunks nails the sound of the 'Little Rascals' single reel movies. Audio quality is tops and a joy to hear.

So take some 'time' to jump back to the 1930's and experience some good 'ol listening memories and old fashioned enjoyment.
