Not Close To Essential And Sloppy Production Sink It
T. Dissinger | Jacksonville, AL USA | 06/15/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"This set could have been a landmark but falls short of the glory in several ways:



1. No trio or quartet sides

2. How can you leave off Benny's closing theme "Goodbye", one of the best ballads he ever did?

3. The master for "Sing, Sing, Sing" is TERRIBLE. It is the Victor recording but with so much reverb it sounds like it was recorded in a manhole. AND the song fades out half way into side 2!!!!! What the *(*&^%^%$?!



If there ever was an example of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, this is it."
