Editorial Reviews

This is a fine compilation of Jackie Gleason's output for Columbia. Gleason's objective was to make "musical wallpaper" that should never be intrusive, but rather conducive. He was not musically literate, but never had a problem articulating what he wanted to hear from his orchestra. The music here is quiet, melancholy, and often somber, played at mostly moderate to slow tempos. Each selection seems to flow into the next, achieving Gleason's goal of unobtrusiveness. Collectors may be more interested in seeking out the original LPs that comprise the material here, but for those looking for two CDs worth of some of the most relaxing music ever recorded, this is the place to start. Robert Taylor Jr., All Music Guide

March 23, 2009: I don't know who the sound engineer was but he should give up his career & start digging ditches, The transfer from the Master Tape was horribly botched Even after all these years I can still here the great sound of the original 33 1/3'rds. None of that was captured on the cd's absolutely none, as a matter of fact the sound was irretating, what a shame.
