Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Very happy with this package!.......2007-01-23

I just bought this 4 cd set couldn't be happier.Quality is wounderful.

5 out of 5 stars Spike Jones.......2007-01-20

This set had many more songs than I had collected before. The quality of the recordings was excellent.

4 out of 5 stars A great set for beginner and established fan alike!!.......2006-11-26

This wonderful 4 disc set of Spike Jones material running from 1941 to 1947 is a set to be cherished by long time fans and a fantastic starter set for those trying to find out what Spike was all about.For 95 songs, four discs,a 23 page booklet and at a price like this you'd be foolish to pass up this bargoon!!
The set features alot of his major material from his RCA catalogue with the rest made up from his transciptions,various live performances and V discs.Some rare,some not heard often,some heard quite frequently over the years but all a delight to the ears.
Keep in mind that none of this material is direct from the major labels who own the masters but are derived from 78s culled from private collections.There are more than a few cuts that are of inferior quality and/or have had some annoying reverb added to the remixing but overall the sound is quite acceptable and generally satisfying.I recently reviewed another Jones CD by the name of "Fonk" put out by another similar company as this one(Proper Records) called Harlequin Records(another indie company),both coincidentally produced in England.To make a long story short I would take this CD set,sound wise, over that poorly and unevenly mastered one.And "Fonk"(one CD) is not that terribly less in price than this (four CD) set.
One other minor criticism I should mention is that while each CD comes in its own protective cardboard sleeve I have had a devil of a time(every time) taking a CD out to be played.They seem to get stuck in the sleeve easily and I've had to learn how to carefully cajole them out without scratching the playing surface.If this should happen to you just keep practising you'll soon find out what works best for you.But indeed a minor annoyance.
So if you're a Spike Jones fan like myself and legions of others what are you waiting for......Feetlebaum ??? Get out there and get this bargain priced set and enjoy every last loving "crash","fonk" and car horn honk that Spike and his zany but talented troupe have to offer up in this must get set.

3 out of 5 stars Not For City Slicker Beginners.......2006-07-28

If you are going to introduce Spike and the Slickers to somebody, pick one of the other "Best of" compilations that contain the final released versions of their hits! The reason for this is simple: those versions are the tight, finely tuned performances that made us fans. I consider this CD set an historical archive rather than a "best of collection". Although you'll hear many of the old favorites, they are "pre-release" (my terminology) versions: looser and not as, well, "good" as the final versions. For long time fans, like me, it is interesting to hear these recordings. But if you are brand new to Spike you will not get the true impression of just how great these guys were. Buy a plain old "best of" CD first, memorize it, treasure it, love it, then get this set. Incidently, this CD collection proves that not everything Spike did deserved presvervation, especially some of his "straight recordings". That was too harsh...I am glad I heard those numbers, but I am now trying to forget I heard them. 'Bye now.

4 out of 5 stars Good, But Still Missing a Few Gems.......2006-01-29

The Spike Jones box CD set is good but doesn't quite hit home for me. The CD "Spiked" has a more concentrated selection of the typical Spike Jones songs you would want to hear. I was disappointed in the fact the song "Pal-Yat-Che" was ommitted from this set. There are songs selected for this CD that are outdated and do not fit todays culture but where fine during WWII. There where other, more forgetible songs they did leave on this CD that I can't even remember as I write this. Spike Jones also butchered the entire Nutcracker Suit and it was ommitted from this collection. The biographic book that comes with the box set is very well written though.
