"What a fantastic piece of CD for such a great price. It contains live tracks to many Spike Jones favorites and even variations on classics such as "Der Fuehrer's Face" along with previous unrealesed songs!! I found this set to be a great conversation piece and a must for Spike Jones fans of all ages. Not only do you get 26 great songs but you also get the dates of the recordings which I find to be rare on many single disk Spike Jones compilations. Any fan would be nuts to pass up a great buy like this. Believe me!!"

A little disappointing :-/

"Well I bought this CD, mainly because of the glowing review of the previous reviewer. But I found myself listening to it only a couple times then putting it on the shelf.
I agree that putting the dates of when the songs were recorded on the disk insert is interesting... but the CD is just missing something.
Are these tracks "The ones you always wanted...?" Well in my case I had about every track on this album except two or three on other CDS!
The highlight of the CD for me was a complete live recording of CHLOE in two parts... it was pretty neat with an announcer telling the audience to stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion of Chloe! Cute stuff!
So basically if you are a DIE HARD fan looking for some live tracks of familiar songs, this album might be worth checking out."
