4 out of 5 stars Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

1 out of 5 stars A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

5 out of 5 stars No Compromise...Prime Cuts.......2005-05-07

This is a sleeper. It was on 3 Folkways 10 inch disks in the fifties. Leadbelly is in his dont't mess with me and stand back mode. Outside plain old blues into the realm of no compromise, , maybe more Texarkana, closer to Lightnin' than to Robert, more like Dock Boggs than Robert. Possibly the most powerful no-nonsense, no-frills no-agenda Leadbelly recordings -- one of the successful murderers nourished in the record business. Early, unsanitized. A fine remastering, short the Folkways liner notes. Rocks.

5 out of 5 stars Young Huddie, Big Guitar.......2005-01-01

Pros:
* Leadbelly beginning his careeer in 1935 and sounding brilliant
* Beautiful remastering with little hiss and a warm sound
* Virtuoso guitar playing including stunning slide work
* 78 minutes of music
* Well-designed packaging

Cons:
* No booklet and very little information on the music

Bottom line: Stunning sides

          5 out of 5 stars Rams Ram-Jam into the Californian road dirt!.......2004-05-30

          At last! Inveterate whimsical thrash-trash trio from Finley Lake have finally made it to No.1 in Australia with an earth-shattering cover of the old Ram Jam one-off classic "Black Betty". Featuring a well-worn bluegrass riff (almost reminiscent of their 'Old Man Sam'), the song tends to remain faithful to the original arrangement minus the guitar solo. With Kram's growly vocals sounding like they were sung through a sheet of tracing paper over a kid's megaphone, it has one of the most awesome middle-eights to come from a rock record in aeons. It pounds, bounces, and the beat threatens to stamp a hole the size of the grand canyon into the old school dance halls.
          Although they sound like they've forsaken their ventures into the dance territory, the CD still features some fine dance tracks for the club crowd and is the perfect introduction for the 'baiters to the UK & US crowd, where they've recently signed with the mighty Interscope label. So kids, give the Eminem, NIN, 50 cent and D-12 CD a rest for a while to say hi to their new labelmates!
          As one prominent Aussie music mogul says "Do yerself a favour, and add these simply marvellous guys to your collection!"
