Royal Crown Revue were between releases when the short-lived swing revival turned relative newcomers Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy into household names. Originally released in the preresurgence year 1996, this collection finds Eddie Nichols's charismatic crooning and his band's revved-up revivalism in fine form. RCR favorites like "Hey Pachuco!" and "Zip-Gun Bop," which were both featured on the band's 1992 indie debut, are given the widescreen treatment here by Van Halen producer Ted Templeman. Other highlights include a cover of "Beyond the Sea" and "Barflies at the Beach," a wild remake of Louis Prima's "Sing Sing Sing" where Nichols sings the virtues of Flipper-laden tuna and other natural wonders. (Note: "Barflies" was added for this 1998 reissue.) As fate would have it, the band that launched the whole swing resurgence never really profited from its success. But as Nichols's heroes would say, that's show biz. --Bill Forman

Hard-core revival swing.......2007-07-20
Or swing with a sting, that's how I'd describe the Royal Crown Revue. I'd always thought that Squirrel Nut Zippers started the swing revival til someone set me straight. Royal Crown Revue's "Mugzy" is all on the level of the Zipper's "H#ll." (Sorry, Amazon edits out the epithets)
I imagine this would make a good remake soundtrack for movies based on Raymond Chandler's novels. "Zip Gun Bop" even has the cop siren running in the background at the first. Plus, of course, there's the offer for a man to try on a pair of cement shoes and 'walk on water.'
"The Rise and Fall of the Great Mondello" has the feel of the old daredevil circuses. You can almost see the performer falling...
"Beyond the Sea" just blows poor Bobby Darin out of the water. (Pardon the bad pun!)
"Dating with No Dough" is also one of those upbeat, funny hard-luck stories. You've got to laugh, because most of us have been there.
Really no bad songs here. "Mugzy" is one of those CDs you can put on when you need to get moving or cheer up and count on having something good to hear.
Crime Jazz.......2007-06-05
Established in 1989, Royal Crown Revue launched a swing revival that's still going strong and has spawned a host of imitators, from former Stray Cats singer Brian Setzer to the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. But Royal Crown Revue still rules the roost, with entries such as Walk on Fire (1999) and Greetings from Hollywood (2004). Whether you call it the bookish-sounding "neo-swing" or use the moniker supplied by front man singer Eddie Nichols--"hard-boiled swing"--you'll need a chaser after downing this powerful cocktail of swing laced with jive and rockabilly.
The accomplished sextet behind Nichols includes saxophonists Mando Dorame (tenor) and Bill Ungerman (barry), and trumpeter Scott Steen, backed by a rhythm section sharper than a stiletto: James Achor on guitar, Vinny Lepisto on bass, and drummer Daniel Glass. Nichols is, as they used to say, one hep cat: his voice brings to mind both Louies (Jordan and Prima), and the band's work reminds you of the "crime jazz" soundtracks of Elmer Bernstein and Henry Mancini. Listen to this one while reading Mickey Spillane's Kiss Me, Deadly and downing straight shots of Canadian Club.
Their signature tunes "Zip Gun Bop" and "Hey Pachuco!" are already standards in their own right. Their lightning-quick, be-bopping "Park's Place" brings back the best of Dizzy and Bird's jam sessions. Damn! These guys play tight! On "Beyond the Sea," Nichols out-swings and out-swoons Bobby Darin. "Barflies at the Beach"--a send-up of Louis Prima's version of "Sing, Sing, Sing"--closes this outing with a politically incorrect ditty about the delights of eating Charlie the Tuna...with a fin of Flipper thrown in for good measure. Yeah, man!
Swing has never been done better!.......2006-01-05
This is such an awesome band! The lead singer was born to sing swing! You will fall in love with every one of these great tunes! You cannot listen to this great CD without tapping your feet!
The perfect swing album!.......2005-11-19
This was the album that discovered Swing music for my ears. Great sounding, energetic album.
If you want a good introduction to Swing, this is THE perfect album to get. Also check out "The Contender" by Royal Crown Revue, it was their follow up to Mugsy's Move. Great album as well.
I would highly recommend this album.
Oh Man i love this music.......2005-06-08
Simply a brilliantly fun album that shines in the band's musicianship. The group is so together and the songs are well balanced, flowing seamlessly through the changes in the songs that keep you listening and relate as a group of stories that are greta ot listen to and fun to dance to!
A very strong album that is a fun and fresh approach to the best type of music out there- swing baby!

Album Description
The process of choosing music for a wedding day can certainly be a daunting process for any couple. There are many choices and the questions can be endless. Traditional music or something off the beaten path? Will your Mom cry (and not in a good way) if you do not come down the aisle to the traditional Wedding March from Wagner, or are you eager to try something new? This collection is designed to give the bridal couple some key pointers to navigate the world of classical music for their wedding day. The package includes over 3 1/2 hours of music on 3 CDs for all portions of the wedding service, all from the Naxos classical label (known for high-quality recordings at inexpensive prices). Wedding day favorites are there, along with new discoveries and tunes you may have never considered for a wedding. All pieces are hand selected by professional wedding musicians and consultants. As a bonus, the 20 page booklet will lead you through the process of choosing music, from hiring musicians to sample programs. Everything you need to create your own unique personal wedding soundtrack.
Customer Reviews:
GREAT WEDDING MUSIC!.......2007-01-24
I used these CD's for my wedding, and I was so happy I did. You need to buy this CD if you like having a traditional wedding! :)
Good Music.......2006-07-05
I bought these CDs for my wedding, in ceremony and reception. Also, when I created my own wedding video, I used it as background music.
A very complete selection of ceremony music!.......2005-02-02
I am getting married in several months and we couldn't decide what music we wanted at our wedding ceremony. This three disk compilation reminded us of all the great ones- including new options we hadn't thought about. I really enjoyed hearing the organ and strings versions of the songs. If you're someone who hears a classical or baroque piece of music, but can't remember the name or the precise tune, this is a must-have to jog your memory and trigger the tear ducts!
Comprehensive Classical Selection.......2004-04-15
I searched all over for a CD set that had a somewhat comprehensive list of classical selections that are traditionally played at weddings. When I found this 3 CD set, I was very pleased. It contains 61 works from almost as many composers. This set might not contain the "best recording ever" of each of the selections, however it is very well done and the quality is very good. I used it primarily to choose the pieces that I wanted to have played by the church organist, and so the actual recordings were more for my consumption rather than for use in the ceremony/reception itself. However, I would not have hestitated to use the CD's in the wedding itself if needed. The book inside includes a list of suggested songs for various wedding styles (formal, outside, morning, etc.). From the classical neophyte to the seasoned classical music expert, this CD set will meet if not exceed expectations.
Just one note..........2003-06-07
I have not heard this album, so I cannot rate it as a whole. (The form made me include a rating, but disregard that.) However, I want to point out that track 36, the Pie Jesu from Gabriel Faure's Requiem is - well, from a requiem, a mass for the dead. The Pie Jesu is a lovely, gentle movement, and it has a beautiful and pure sound that does seem to fit the mood of a wedding. The Latin words, however, mean "Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them everlasting rest," where "them" refers to the dead.
Beautiful, but perhaps not so suitable for a wedding.

Before there were khaki-pantsed swing dancers on TV and zoot-suited clubgoers in every major American city, Royal Crown Revue plied their proudly retro sound and look in underground L.A. nightspots. But what began as a curiosity blossomed into a national sensation. With The Contender, RCR are back to claim their title as the Johnny Appleseed of swing. Name-checking the right cultural icons (including Marlon Brando and Bettie Page) and covering a variety of classic tunes, from a breezy doo-wop take on "Stormy Weather" to a hard-boppin' version of the Dizzy Gillespie classic "Salt Peanuts," the group has clearly done its homework. Original tunes such as the single "Zip Gun Bop (Reloaded)," "Big Boss Lee," and the title track rock harder than the songs of the era they mean to emulate but are impressive nonetheless. This isn't the musical equivalent of your father's Oldsmobile. Your grandfather, on the other hand, would think it's just swell. --Daniel Durchholz

Royal Crown Review at the TIP TOP of thier game..........2006-08-10
Royal Crown Review is a lcoal Los Angeles swing combo(fronted by crooner Eddie Nichols), that doesn't nessicarily stick to swing. It is not uncommon to hear Nichols singing an Elvis Presley cover, or the band playing a Dizzie Gillespie tune or a rockabilly song. Nichols writes original that sound like "Gangster 40's" he also revives 40's tunes like Stormy Waether and 50's lounge covers like Beyond The Sea, and even r&b tunes like Walk Right In(The Walking Blues). This cd is the most mature the band has ever recorded. It has mostyl originals that do swing, and a revival of Lena Horne's 40's hit "Stormy Waether" but done with a Louis Prima 50's Las Vegas lounge sounding r&b shuffle rhythm(perfect for dancing). This cd also has "Salt Peanuts" a bebop jazz cover, and a Zip Gun Bop reamke. Great cd, great short solos, and smooth as ever vocals. Tight band tight cd.
STICK WITH THE 'LIVE ALBUM'.......2006-02-27
What is this band's obsession with dialogue from gangster movies?-it reared its ugly head on the otherwise excellant 'mugsy's move' and on this it is even more predominant. It just isn't funny-so why do it? it reaches its nadir on 'big boss lee' which was so irritating i skipped the last part. Thing is when the dialogue is dispense with Eddie Nichols has one helluva swing voice witness 'stormy weather' (his version of 'beyond the sea' is the best ever!)and then he gets stupid again. I know it is supposed to go with the charm (sic) of the band, but i find it annoying. There really isn't much to commend this 'zip gun' is pretty ferocious and 'salt peanuts' never really catches fire, but 'deadly nightcall' is plain embarassing. I know Royal Crown can deliver, but please no more James Cagney impressions.
Good, solid contemporary swing album. You'll find no filler here........2005-11-17
Nice album. Great beats, good energy and and nice crisp original sound. This type of swing music, is great to play at parties, from start to finish.
These guys sounds like a modern rendition of the old swing bands from the 30's and 40's. If you are open to hearing something different, that has a pulse, I would strong recommend this album.
Also, if you like this album, check out Royal Crown Revue's previous album, "Mugzy's Move". A great album as well.
Swing On The Wild Side!.......2004-06-02
This will probably remain one of my favourite swing albums ever! The most powerful swing album in the world. That's what it is. You can hear Zip Gun Bop (Reloaded), Big Boss Lee, Port-Au-Prince (about Bettie Page), Walking Like Brando (about walking like Brando), Stormy Weather (another swing classic), Gillespie's Salt Peanuts,... Beautiful! Forget about Cherry Poppin' Daddies and that kinda stuff! Gangster Bop is on top again!
Very solid album.......2003-06-11
The Contender is the Royal Crown Revue's very solid followup to Mugzy's Move. Although there isn't anything as strong as "Hey Pachuco" or "Mugzy's Move", the songs are all very good. This is more of a traditional swing album. One of the first things you notice about The Contender is the increased backing vocals from the band which really works on more traditional swing like "Morning Light", "Walkin' Like Brando", and their excellent cover of "Stormy Weather". The faster tracks such as "Big Boss Lee", "Work Baby Work" and the title track do an excellent job of showcasing the stellar musicianship of the band. There are also some great slower tracks here like "Friday The 13th" and "Everyone Knows You're Crazy" and the very jazzy instrumental "Deadly Nightcall". While the songs aren't nearly as memorable as Mugzy's Move, everything here is good and it's definitely worth checking out.

Proof That Jazz Is NOT Dead, but Alive and Kicking!.......2004-10-17
Lately, it doesn't seem that jazz is dead, but the genre definitely needs a classy zip. In the 50's and 60's, jazz had a certain elegance about it, that wasn't underminded by it's energy or sheer fun. Not a lot of bands seem to be able to do that anymore. When was the last time a classy, first-rate jazz band had a free show in New York City? How often do jazz bands tour all over the world and still make time to contact their fans on the internet? How often do first-rate jazz musicians stay after shows until they've met all of their fans?
The answer is: not often at all. I'd say never, but Royal Crown Revue does all of those and more.
The band, after 10 years of a busy and exciting career in dishing out what they accurately describe as "hard boiled swing", have proven to cynics and naysayers that they were more than bandwagon-jumping, trendy scenesters that followed a Gap commercial. This band has been committed to making original, soulful music, and doing innovative covers of tasteful classics. In their career, they've put rejuvinating energy into such old standards as "Beyond the Sea", "Stormy Weather" and "Salt Peanuts", showing any jazz fan that if they wanted to know the definitive version of any song, they can't stop paying attention to this band. On top of that, their originals demonstrate their musical genious as songwriters and musicians.
Their new album thankfully doesn't break this tradition. I thought that I knew the best versions of some of some of jazz's biggest standards, but their arrangement of "Come Fly With Me" even gives Old Blue Eyes a run for his money! This album is a best of the best without being a boring "Greatest Hits". here they provide some of their most obscure old gems, along with new covers and originals. The band takes to time like a great bottle of merlot: gracefully and with improved flavor. Some bands get more boring with years, yet this band manages to preserve their energy, their creativity, and their signature classic sound to release what may be one of the finest cd's of their career. If you don't know about this band, WAKE UP! If you think this band is another one of those "neo-swing" bands, you really ought to get with the times. This isn't 1996. It's 2005, and this band sounds better and brighter than ever. You can't claim to be a musical connoisseur until you know these guys, and this is a great place to start. What are you waiting for, bum?
Topping the last two releases.......2004-07-28
RCR's latest offering comes blasting out like a note from Scott Steen's golden horn. Fans will appreciate the previously rare tracks from the band's sought-after 1994 demo and new listeners will not be able to deny the talent that seeps from their extensive repertoire starting with the essential 'Come Fly With Me' (preview it and two other songs on their brand new website). Every song following is filled with energy, romance, and enthusiasm. The new band members don't miss a beat.
By the end of the album, you'll be ready to relax to the lilting 'You Go To My Head' only to be jarred out of your romantic reverie as the horns come blaring back for a killer take on the classic 'Viva Las Vegas.'
This album is not only packed with an hour of awesome music, it also contains some of the best enhanced content I've seen on an album. Along with the killer design, it features photos of the band, stories behind the songs, an oft-requested/never-shown music video for their previous hit, 'Watts Local,' and more.
If you haven't heard from these guys for a while, have been an addicted fan for years, or find this is your first experience with the band, it's hard to deny this is a must have.
Support the band by buying from their site (and save money), where they also have an autographed version available.

Customer Reviews:
The picture.......2006-12-11
I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

Walton's music being discovered.......2007-01-15
Even at my advanced age, it's great fun to discover music that's new to me, and this CD presents lots of entertaining and listenable music that has been written in the lifetime of many of us. William Walton knew how to write rip-roaring "program" music.

A muzzled Walton Sym. #1, which helps.......2006-05-17
Walton created a sensation as a young composer in the 1930s with this kinetic, brutal, some say malicious work. Adrian Boult was so disturbed by its aggressiveness that he stopped condcuting it in later life, and if played all out, the motor rhythms and crashing dissonances amount to a constant assault until the gentle, meditative strains of the flute appear in the third movement (by far the most impressive musically).
Previn made a specialty of the work when he was the youthful principal conductor of the LSO (1968-79). This is his later, kinder and gentler remake with the Royal Phil. from 1985. It's a muzzled performance, of which I'm glad. This hectic music can sound decidedly vulgar and overblown (a la Gliere). Here, the distant placement of the microphones and the decision not to spotlight the crash-and-bang aspect of the score are a definite help: you feel you can listen to the piece's inner workings without wincing. I must admit that Walton's macho idiom turns me off, and I run from performances of his music. That said, I made it through this CD with pleasure and had more respect for his First Sym. than I ever expected to.

He pushed the gun in the small of her back!!!!.......2006-06-01
This is the best album. It's all about falling in love with the wrongly accused and washing his car while he's in jail. It's also about watching your man die in a botched bank robbery. So sad. I hate anyone who doesn't like this. Bye-eee!
Miss Derringer's remarkable debut.......2004-03-01
Miss Derringer's debut album has a unique style. They adopt country/western elements and mix it with a classic rock feeling, showing the bandmember's instrumental capabilities and talent. The lyrics are very rich & creative; some are deep and emotional, while other songs demonstrate the band's abilities for great storytelling. Liz McGrath's beautiful voice is captivating. Overall, this album is very chill and great to add to your collection.
Miss Derringer.......2004-02-12
This album is a lot different for Liz McGrath, and if youwere a fan of her ever popular punk band Tongue, you might be taken aback. Here Ms Mcgrath sings slightly goth-y country songs (think Cowboy Junkies) about an imaginary (?) bank robber boyfirend. Great guitar work, and a real chance to hear what Liz can do vocally make this one a real fun spaghetti western.
NEW LIZ MCGRATH?!.......2004-02-12
I've been a fan of Ms. McGrath for years (since Cencor This),
so i was excited to hear about a new project she was working on. Fans of Tongue should avoid this, though. McGrath's abilities are extremely limited by the material, weak, corny lyrics, painfully simplistic music and a cheezy attempt to build the album around two imaginary characters (1920's bank robbers?). Tongue was tongue in cheek good fun, Miss Derringer is just a miss.

Live, loud and superb.......1999-12-10
For anybody who has never heard RCR, this is the album for you. The quality is excellent considering it is live and the whole 'buzz' of the album makes toes tap and fingers snap. Eddie Nichols' vocals are razor sharp, sharper than the whole bands dress sense. All the tracks are overflowing with snappy, fast beats and some exceptional horn work from Scott Steen. Tracks of note are Mousetrap and hot rod. This is one album you will wear out before tiring of that RCR sound.
Best live swing album by the best swing band!.......1999-10-31
This album is what swing is all about: you got you got fast swing, some slower swing to use while you and your honey cool down, and it's all performed by the best swing band around. Eddie Nichols' vocals ring crystal clear (as they should in any good live recording) and as usual, he's in perfect pitch. And of course, the boys all got his back and play their instruments to swingin' perfection. The great part is being able to hear every instrument and all the vocals clearly, and boy do those cats put on a show! I've seen RCR live and this cd completely does them justice. Now I just wish they'd come out with another live one! If you're a fan of RCR, or swing in general, buy this cd!
SWINGIN!!!!!! thats all i can say.......1999-01-01
This album gave a great effort and i am gonna continue to listen to it. I like every song on this album it is just plain SWINGIN!!!
Possibly the best live album I have ever heard.......1998-12-31
I recently picked up the live Royal Crown Revue CD and it is incredible. I put off getting this disc for a while after having been a fan of the band for some time, being skeptical of other live recordings I have heard in the past of other musicians. This skepticism was erased by Eddie and the rest of the solid RCR lineup. This disc swings into high gear with crisp precision that is witnessed on their studio records and with the energy and entertainment of a live show. This disc should make any swing fan who has not got to see these guys perform see them live. I know I am anxiously awaiting my chance. Thumbs up for a terrific album and band.
This album epitomizes the revival of swing........1998-12-23
Royal Crown Revue shows us what musicians are supposed to be in this disc. Constantly being played in both my car and at home, I never get tired of these tunes. This album has a perfect mix of fast and furious to laid-back and easy. Everything that any swing or jazz-crazed fan would appreciate packed into a thin piece of hardware.
