5.0 out of 5 stars Musical depreciation beyond the "hits!", January 13, 1999

The premise behind this CD is to reveal the inventive sides of Spike that go beyond the usual collection of "greatest hits." You'll find obscure gems, including the COMPLETE "Nutcracker Suite." Some previously UNISSUED tracks appear here, including a stereo version of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse," the catchy theme used in so many Warner Brothers cartoons. Sound quality is remarkably good: clean, full sound -- without fake "stereo" reverb. Excellent album notes.

4.0 out of 5 stars the perfect spike jones collection, November 30, 1999

This CD is not to be underestimated. For all the cowbells and vacuum cleaners, it's really a fine piece of craftsmanship, with every sound effect tuned and timed just right. The `Powerhouse' track is outstanding, and the corny lyrics in the other songs are a delight.

Check out the liner notes by novelist Thomas Pynchon.

A rare WELL DOCUMENTED compilation, that gives a pretty good idea of Spike's evolution, environment and ideas. Plus a couple of extremely rare "unvollendete" cuts! Not to miss, along with the "Musical Depreciation Revue Anthology". Yeah!
