Music reviews of The Golden Age of the Andrews Sisters [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]Music Review: give those gals a spotlight !!! Rating: 5 Stars
The Golden Age Of The Andrews Sisters is an excellent four CD set that gives us many standards by this trio of sisters--and many rarities as well. The quality of the sound is generally excellent; and the artwork is also very nicely done.
There are 101 songs on these four CDs; I scarcely know where to turn first in describing this to you! The first two CDs have many songs listeners will recognize if they are familiar with big band music and The Andrews Sisters already. The remaining two discs are full of lesser known tunes by The Andrews Sisters; this increases the value of this set. I'm very impressed!
The first CD has many good ones: listen for their huge hit "Bei Mir Bist Du Schöen;" this tune features them back in '37 harmonizing to perfection. "Bei Mir Bist Du Schöen" is a sweet love song that still charms people (including me) today. "Scrub Me Mama, With A Boogie Beat" has the sisters singing in harmony ever so sweetly and I really enjoy the big band boogie flavor of this number! There's also the slower tempo ballad entitled "Don't Fence Me In" that they sing with the great Bing Crosby; this ends the first CD very strong. The musical arrangements are all very solid.
The second CD continues the hits. "Rum And Coca-Cola" has great tempo changes and this was always one of my favorites. My dad loves this one too! "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive" features the sisters doing a great job with Bong Crosby; the melody is grand. The arrangement for the piano reflects good forethought. "I Can Dream, Can't I" shines like gold when The Andrews Sisters perform it; and "I, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi (I Like You Very Much" is excellent, too.
The second two CDs have songs that are great but less often heard. "Tuxedo Junction" features great horn work and when the sisters come in, this number takes flight! They sing this so well, too. "Beatin', Bangin', `N Scratchin'" features the sister with the great Danny Kaye; the Latin beat is excellent! "I'm Gonna Paper All My Walls With Your Love Letters" has great big band flavor and The Andrews Sister never sing a superfluous note! "Pack Up Your Troubles" has The Andrews Sisters doing it up right with Dick Haymes--great!
The final CD is equally good. "Run, Run Run" has a slightly Latin feel to it with a great horn arrangement; and there's also "The Money Song." "The Money Song" is a fun song and I predict you'll enjoy this tune. "The Bride And Groom Polka" is one of the best polka numbers I've ever heard; and the sisters handle this like the pro they always were!
The album ends with a great rendition of "Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me)."
Overall, this fine for CD will easily appeal to fans of this great sister act; and persons who like classic pop vocals with big band arrangements will want this also.

Description of The Golden Age of the Andrews Sisters [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]The Andrews Sisters came on the scene in 1938 with Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen, and closed out their era (early fifties) with the dreamy balled, I Can Dream Can't I? and the monster smashes in between with Rum and Coca-Cola and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy to name just a few. Their blissful passion shines on through in this 4 disc collection of some of their most popular tunes. Disc One and Two are all their Top Ten hits in chronological order. Disc three and four are full of rare tunes that are also quite enjoyable. You can't listen to these tracks and not tap your feet and sing along. The Andrews Sisters recorded every kind of song imaginable and it's amazing how well it all holds up after all these years. The sisters musicianship and blend was truly amazing and the Vic Shoen orchestra was brilliant in styling accompaniments which actually let the Sisters perform a capella with only bass and drums underneath them, with instrumental inflections between vocals lines. The sound quality is AMAZING. This Andrews Sisters collection serves as a good introduction to an amazing body of work unsurpassed and still thoroughly enjoyable in the 21st century.
