Why Can't North American Companies Produce Stuff Like This?, 29 Aug 2007
By AvidOldiesCollector - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Laugh, Laugh, Laugh! the Golden Age of American Comedy (Audio CD)
It's a sad comentary on the state of affairs of CD production in North America when one entitled Laugh, Laugh, Laugh! An Anthology Of American Comedy has to come out of England!!
This one from Pavilion Records Limited of East Sussex provides 17 tracks featuring some classic humourous moments captured on record, led by Phil Harris & His Orchestra doing the hilarious Dark Town Poker Club [we ain't gonna play this game according to no Mr. Hoyley - we gonna play it according to ME] - a # 10 in 1946.
Also here as charted songs are Johnny Mercer's The Strip Polka [# 7 in 1942], The William Tell Overture by Spike Jones & His City Slickers [# 6 in 1948], and the extremely hard-to-find Dusty Fletcher version of Open The Door Richard, which hit # 3 in 1947 with Jimmy Jones & His Band. On the Mercer cut he had the backing of The Mellowaires AND Phil Silvers, which I never knew before.
All the other tracks were not "hits" in that sense of the word, but there are some great moments here, including Groucho and Bing collaborating on Lydia The Tattooed Lady, Bing and Bob Hope on Put It There Pal from one of their Road pictures, and Betty Hutton's The Sewing Machine.
You get 77 minutes of old-time entertainment along with five pages of informative liner notes written in 1999 by Tony Watts, A pretty good bargain. Recommended.
