This CD is a mixed bag - but a pleasant mixed bag.

The "Proper Introduction" title implies this is a "best of" collection to represent the artist to the one who has no Spike Jones CDs. But this is not the case. The titles are actually a scattering of some of the more obscure sides Spike recorded. And, I should point out, nothing on this CD is really new. Every track has been lifted from another CD, with most material coming from the Harlequin series, "The Man Who Murdered Music," and "The Masters" CD from Eagle. Furthermore, the notes look thorough and authoritative, but in fact, they are riddled with errors and typos. One of the tracks listed ("Knock, Knock, Who's There") is completely missing. That's the down side.

On the positive end, the package is quite listenable. There is some good music here, and the sound quality is overall pretty good. The pictures and packaging are pleasing to the eye. So if you'd simply like something to augment your "greatest hits" collection CD, this is not a bad choice. 22 tracks for $11? Hey!
