Free Music Notes for Paul Whiteman - Greatest Hits

Free Music Review: Great old music, wrong Amazon track list
Hit: 5 Stars

The track listing given above is incorrect. The Amazon review refers to the right songs - Japanese Sandman, Whispering etc. (NOT American Tune, Just Like A Melody... etc. - I don't know what recording they're from but not this one!), however the Product Description is also incorrect as it alludes to 24 Columbia tracks from the late '20s early '30s (I'd like to know which CD this actually is), but this CD is 22 Victor recordings all from the 1920's:

1. Japanese Sandman
2. Whispering
3. Say it with music
4. Hot Lips
5. Three O'clock in the morning
6. I'll build a stairway to paradise
7. Linger awhile
8. What'll I do?
9. Somebody loves me
10. Oh, lady be good!
11. Valencia (Song of Spain)
12. Birth of the blues
13. Song of India
14. In a little Spanish town
15. My Blue Heaven
16. Wang-wang blues
17. Among my souvenirs
18. Ramona
19. Ol' man river
20. Together
21. My angel
22. Rhapsody in blue


This confused me so much at first that I *almost* didn't buy the CD, but once I figured out that it really did have the songs I was looking for I ordered it and I'm very glad I did! This is the soundtrack of the '20s, the transfers were done very well (all fresh transfers from metal parts or shellac pressings), tracks 1-10 from acoustic recordings but sound darn good, the remainder electrical recordings with noticably better sound and a distinct lack of noise yet still sounding quite bright and alive. Wang-Wang Blues, Song of India and Rhapsody in Blue are presented in their later electronically-recorded versions rather than the earlier acoustic.

It's hard to appreciate from the distance of 80 years how much of what we take for granted about 20th century American pop music originated with Paul Whiteman, but listening this collection brings it all home.

Paul Whiteman - Greatest Hits Poster

24 tracks, and not-a-one of ?em has ever been on CD, not even on bootleg! That?s because previous Whiteman collections (like our own) have concentrated on the RCA Victor sides; this one serves up two dozen Columbia cuts from Paul?s late-?20s/early-?30s recordings for the label, featuring vocalists Jack Fulton, Austin Young, Charles Gaylord, the King?s Jesters and the dazzling Vaughn DeLeath. Joe Laredo provides notes detailing this forgotten period of Paul?s unbelievable career. A Collectors? Choice Music exclusive!
