Free Music Notes for Take It Off! Strip Tease Classics
Free Music Review: Just a bit of 'naughty jazz'!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite CDs. These 'big band' sounds conjure up a desire for some naughtiness, and I catch a smile creeping across my face. The cover was a pleasant surprise and a bonus; everybody gets a big kick out of it. As "The Stripper" blasts out, I can't stand still. Each song has its own personality, but it's all good. One thing I've found is that this is EXCELLENT music to clean house to, and a lot of fun to watch the neighbors as I wax the car while it plays. Free Music Review: Cocktails, anyone?
Hit: 5 Stars
This is THE CD to accompany your fabulous cocktail-parties.The music is glamourous, funny and packed with attitude. I can't really see anyone "take it off" to this stuff though, unless you've already emptied every bottle you own. A couple of the last tracs are a surprise, as they have more of a "Pulp Fiction"-edge to them, but the rest is pure retro fun, conjouring up images of Tempest Storm strutting her stuff. And of course, every serious bombshell has the legendary "The Stripper" in her collection. Delight any audience with this show-stopper. If you're able to do a routine to this classic without smiling, you need help. Ditto your audience.Free Music Review: Good enough
Hit: 3 Stars
This collection is fun, but I was a little disappointed. It's not as gripping as those Betty Page collections (who knows if they're available anymore) -- it doesn't make one want to stand up and start stripping. Not that I strip -- I'm just sayin'. This disc is a little bland, but it's still awesome this kind of stuff is available.Free Music Review: a little disappointed...

As a HUGE fan of RHINO and their really cool compilations and box set serious, as well as such great kiche as Capital's ULTRA LOUNGE series, I have to mention a little disappointment in this one... Great topic, great tunes but well, the guys didn't really dig too deep or do their homework - - Basically this isn't really a compilation but a TWO FOR ONE ALBUM Most the tunes come from the mid-60s Sonny Lester swing session turned post-Master's and Johnson novelty album HOW TO STRIP FOR YOUR HUSBAND Vol. 1 and 2 with three "bonus tracks" - - Had RHINO released it as thus, and perhaps included the original liner info, then I think it would have been a good deal... but since it was presented as STRIP TEASE CLASSSICS.... well, two words... JIMMY FORREST and EARL BOSTIC... uh uh, not there... Further, the liner notes don't really chronical the era or capture the story behind the music (you could find out more glancing through the Something Wierd Video catalogue) - - The story of the music, the clubs, or even the legends (two words - - Betty Page) don't really appear... In fact the guy writing the liner notes even jokes about having no idea who Sonny Lester was (!) As for the music itself - - heck yeah a lot of the stuff swings, grinds and bumps... (In my book Lullaby of Birdland and Strip Poker win the gold medal for sankiness !) but overall I think this compilation isn't just exactly what you'd come to expect from the same great label that put out the BEAT GENERATION BOX SET and all those other retro-era series...
(P.S. A bit of trivia... Sonny Lester recorded a follow up to HOW TO STRIP FOR YOUR HUSBAND called HOW TO STRIP FOR YOUR LOVER in the '90s featuring Lonnie Smith on organ ! Worth knowing !)

Sexy and swinging! These big bands let it all hang out (musically, that is)! Starting off with that all-time classic, "The Stripper", it's impossible not to move along to those vibrant drum trills. Other great tracks include "Lament" and "Big Millie From Phillie". The liner notes are wonderfully written, and point out that this music, from the golden days of burlesque, is from a time when "the tease in striptease was emphasized more than the strip". It's music with imagination and wit, good for getting your partner in the mood, or just to unwind after a hard day at the daily grind (pun intended!).
