Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Sir Noel Coward is KING!.......2007-01-09

Very few of us lesser mortals can compete with the genius of Noel Coward, however we certainly can enjoy it! A master of lyric, pun, innendo, and rhyme, Noel will keep all laughing throughout this collection.

5 out of 5 stars Caberet at its Best.......2006-07-11

This is a live recording of a Noel Coward performance in the 1950's at the Desert Inn. The songs are quite a bit racier than his usual studio recordings from the 1920's and 30's; all very witty and very fun. A stand out performance of Cole Porter's "Let's Do It" features references to everyone from Somerset Maugham to Senator Joe McCarthy. Unique.

5 out of 5 stars witty, classic genius.......2005-12-13

My old LP was lost in a recent move! I have loved this album along with "Noel and Gertie" since I first heard it at the age of twelve. Sir Noel Coward is not to be missed.

    Album Description

    The most requested collection of music for all your favorite party dances. Based on a nationwide survey of DJ's, dance instructors and PE teachers, this CD includes the Electric Slide, Hand Jive, Bunny Hop, Macarena, Cotton Eyed Joe, Chicken Dance and more! These rerecordings of the original songs are digitalized and the sound quality is excellent. Even the suggestive lyrics were removed so the muisc can be played in school settings. Geared towards kids and adults who want to be kids again!

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent and Well Done.......2006-08-28

    I'm pretty stunned with the review below by "johnnybighit" (is he a competitor maybe?). This cd is an excellent and professionally done recording for students and teachers alike. Christie Lane produces a well done and appropriate cd for kids and adults, and frankly, whether these are original artists or rerecordings -- not usual for this kind of cd -- is neither expected nor all that important.

    What IS important is the reaction of the kids to the cd, and they LOVE IT! I heartily endorse the quality and originality of this cd for everyone. Enjoy, and dance along to well done and fun bits of music. You will not be disappointed. Five stars.

    5 out of 5 stars D.J........2004-05-27

    I DJ for churches,Y's ect. and this cd is GREAT! The music is "clean" and it sounds great for remake. Good production job.Nice to have it all on one disk.

    5 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Content.......2003-05-16

    I am extremely pleased with the content of this CD. Being in the field of physical education and conducting corporate events for over 15 years, I have never been more pleased with a music CD. More so with the Chicken Dance. I feel this CD is the best on the market. ...

    5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2003-04-14

    I ordered this CD to go with the video and it taught me all those dances that I see everyone doing at public functions. This is the BEST versions I have heard. I didn't even know they were not the originals. There are about 4 out of the 20 tracks that I could tell were remakes, but the rest were just great. Nice to have all of these on a disc that my kids can listen to.

    5 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS CD!.......2003-03-10

    I highly recommend it! I bought it for my nieces because all the lyrics were clean. However after listening to it, I decided to bring it to my company party and it was the hit of the party! I knew these were not the originals and didn't expect much, however, I felt that all the songs were great. In fact, some of the songs like the Electric Slide sounds better than the originals!

      3 out of 5 stars No angry tangos?.......2007-04-05

      Coumbia Ballroom Orchestra albums will make an inexpensive foundation for your new or growing collection of ballroom dance music. This is full orchestra dance music and the strings often carry the melody line. The cover lists the appropriate dance and the tempo (bpm). The tempos are appropriate to the suggested dance and it is all just sweet and beautiful. But sometimes this is not enough, because tangos can also be angry, and cha chas provocative. . .

      This is great for practice, and barring a better recording, playing at dancers' requests. I wouldn't schedule a lot of this for black-tie dance parties. Please don't be distressed by the three star rating. I explain the difference between three and four stars in my profile, and you can find links to several dozens albums reviewed there.

      Here is the title, duration, suggested dance, and the tempo (bpm):

      3 out of 5 stars Columbia Ballroom Orchestra CDs: Far From Perfect .......2005-10-04

      THIS REVIEW APPLIES TO ALL THEIR CDs: Unless you have access to a large music collection, this series may be your best bet. HOWEVER, its far from perfect:
      1. Most of the music feels artificial, and lacks artistic feel.
      2. Several of the songs do not have a clear beat, required for beginning dancers.

      On the three albums I bought, I found only about one third of the tracks to be acceptable. I just wish someone would come up with a better collection of music.

      4 out of 5 stars Good Choice!.......1999-02-04

      Let's Dance Volumes 1-6 are all good choices for ballroom dancing enthusiasts or instrumental music listeners. I went to a ballroom dancing school that used this music almost exclusively, because it is of high quality, it stays close to strict tempo, and it uses popular songs. Unlike some other ballroom music collections whose songs all sound alike, this one is not boring and numbingly dull. The Latin tunes have authentic-sounding instruments and rhythms, and the smooth tunes (foxtrot, waltz, tango, etc.) have a nice full sound. These CDs should definitely please anyone with an interest in this type of music.

      1 out of 5 stars Embarrassingly bad music for people with embarrassingly bad taste.......2006-02-28

      This is "Carolina Beach Music", music so awful that outside of the the two Carolinas, Georgia, maybe Virginia, no one knows what it is or could stand to listen for long. While in the majority of the known universe, the term "shag" refers to the sex act, the ironic thing is that "shag" refers to something altogether different in the Bible-Belt extremist conservative southeastern US (and thank God, nowhere else), that being a sped-up swing dance done to mostly really bad local R&B music performed by really talentless groups of the region. That is the garbage you will hear in this compilation.

      While the word "shag" speaks to the sex act, the shag dance is definitely a mood-killer for any normal human being. You've got to see it done to see what a total sexual turn-off this dance is - it's about as sexy as a Texas two-step, yet an entire culture of mediocrity that only exists in the south Atlantic has grown up around this effeminate, laughable Lindy done at warp-speed. It's definitely more embarrassing to witness when performed by a male of the species, but is still pathetic when done by anything with two legs.

      Notwithstanding their on-stage outfits of the period, the Beach Boys music of their golden days in the 1960's had much too much class and sophistication to qualify as beach music (plus, you can't shag dance to it), but those unsuspecting people who move to the southeast from other parts of the US or world always assume that is what is meant by "beach music". Maybe that is true in the universe at large, but not in the southeast. Although the great songs of the Drifters and many classic Motown songs have been unfortunately labeled as "beach music" by those involved in the culture, "Carolina Beach Music", more specifically, is much more often than not simply embarrassingly awful music written and performed by bands from the Carolinas, usually aging white men wearing Sansabelt pants and Hawaiian shirts. The Band of Oz, the Embers, the Breeze Band, the Poor Souls, Billy Scott and the Prophets, the Catalinas, the Fantastic Shakers, are but a few of the local bands that make tons of money in the southeast and that could not get arrested off of their home turf. The popularity of this garbage being confined to the Carolinas says alot about the taste of the residents of those two states.

            Album Description

            Song: "Don't Blame Me" Music by Jimmy McHugh, Lyrics by Dorothy Fields, Performed by Leslie Uggams The Bad and the Beautiful had been set in Hollywood, but Two Weeks in Another Town moved the location to Rome, where washed-up actor Jack Andrus (Douglas) is summoned by his former director (Edward G. Robinson) to assist him on a cheapie for a foreign producer. From there Jack's "two weeks in another town" find him coming to terms with his past through a new web of personal relationships. Although not a sequel to The Bad and the Beautiful, composer David Raksin treated Two Weeks in Another Town as a virtual "part two," reusing several of his themes from the earlier picture, including, briefly, the main theme itself -- for a screening of The Bad and the Beautiful as one of the "former productions" by the new film's characters. Music Composed and Conducted by David Raksin
