Royal Crown Revue were between releases when the short-lived swing revival turned relative newcomers Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy into household names. Originally released in the preresurgence year 1996, this collection finds Eddie Nichols's charismatic crooning and his band's revved-up revivalism in fine form. RCR favorites like "Hey Pachuco!" and "Zip-Gun Bop," which were both featured on the band's 1992 indie debut, are given the widescreen treatment here by Van Halen producer Ted Templeman. Other highlights include a cover of "Beyond the Sea" and "Barflies at the Beach," a wild remake of Louis Prima's "Sing Sing Sing" where Nichols sings the virtues of Flipper-laden tuna and other natural wonders. (Note: "Barflies" was added for this 1998 reissue.) As fate would have it, the band that launched the whole swing resurgence never really profited from its success. But as Nichols's heroes would say, that's show biz. <I>--Bill Forman</I>

Swing has never been done better!.......2006-01-05

This is such an awesome band! The lead singer was born to sing swing! You will fall in love with every one of these great tunes! You cannot listen to this great CD without tapping your feet!

The perfect swing album!.......2005-11-19

This was the album that discovered Swing music for my ears. Great sounding, energetic album.

If you want a good introduction to Swing, this is THE perfect album to get. Also check out "The Contender" by Royal Crown Revue, it was their follow up to Mugsy's Move. Great album as well.

I would highly recommend this album.

Oh Man i love this music.......2005-06-08

Simply a brilliantly fun album that shines in the band's musicianship. The group is so together and the songs are well balanced, flowing seamlessly through the changes in the songs that keep you listening and relate as a group of stories that are greta ot listen to and fun to dance to!

A very strong album that is a fun and fresh approach to the best type of music out there- swing baby!

Simply the best of neo-swing.......2004-08-05

This is my favorite RCR cd. If you are a jazz fan in any way, shape, or form this cd is for you. It has a great combination of slow and fast songs, and their original pieces as well as awesome renditions of classics.... buy it today!

Zip Gun Bop!.......2004-06-03

"Hey Pachucho" and "Zip Gun Bop" are already classics."Datin' With No Dough" was realeased on various compilations too, "Beyond The Sea" is a beautiful cover. With a jazzy feel and beautiful arrangements. This is a swinging masterpiece! Probably the best retro swing album ever!
