4.0 out of 5 stars An update of a classic summer song, March 23, 2002

By

This review is from: In the Summertime (Audio CD)

Everybody should have heard this classic summer song at one point or another in their lives, so no doubt you'll know who Mungo Jerry is. This CD single, "In The Summertime" features three updated remixes of the title song. Although the new version are acceptable, the purists will be happy to discover the original - and best - version is tagged on at the end. This is the one I prefer to play. Not a bad effort though.

Jon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Takes Jug Band music to a new level.., June 4, 2000

The first time I listened to this LP back in the 60's I thought I died and went to heaven and they played jugband music there. I never heard a kazoo used with so much style, the honkytonk piano and the songs.. Maggie, San Francisco Bay Blues, Baby Let's Play House.. awesome. This album is one of a kind.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest LP I heard in my life, August 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Summertime (Audio CD)

This is a legend of pop music. Such things as " Maggie", "Jonny B. Badde", "Tramp" already for a long time are my favorite songs. The finest sounds produced without drums and with using the whole set of the music instruments, such as kazoo is the discovery for a man who wants to perform them just playing acoustic guitar with employing kazoo and lip harmonicas - they sound wonderful and I did it repeatedly with unchanged success. I love Mungo Jerry but I need the original texts of their songs.
