OOOOOOO - OH BOOM

To all of Martha's fans,

I hope this list helps you find Martha's music. These are all in my collection, and as I find more they'll be entered here.

Numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15, 16 and 33 are from collections of artists/bands of the Swing Era and are all reissues of commercial recordings. Number 33 is an exceptional set of four CDs. Numbers 3, 8, 11, 12, 24 and 28 are all exceptional and reissues of commercial recordings; I consider 28 the best CD of the lot. Martha turned out her greatest songs while with Capitol. I particularly like her 1955 version of "And The Angels Sing." Unfortunately, the CD is out-of-print and I've seen eBay bidding run close to $100.00 (we are trying to convince the manufacturer to print another run; time will tell.)

Number 12 is also great CD of songs from transcription disc. These recordings were not available to the general public for purchase, you would have heard them only on the radio. This CD is still available on Amazon.com.

Numbers 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 were compiled from radio show appearances; all good listening but somewhat hard to find.

Number 27, 31 and 32 are fun; they have original "Camel" cigarette ads included. Each CD contains two half-hour shows. Number 31 is unique because it features "Fralich In Swing," the instrumental version of "And The Angels Sing." "Fralich" was in the first week's lineup and you hear Goodman give Johnnie Mercer the job of writing words for the song. The next week, this great song is introduced as "And The Angels Sing." This version is unique because it has another verse at the end that was left off the commercial recording. My guess is it would have made the song too long for a 78 pressing.

Happy Hunting!

4. "RAY NOBLE - WITH ALL MY HEART" (Submarine Records)

AND THE ANGELS SING

While Liz's recordings are hard to find, in my opinion her voice was almost as great as sister Martha's.

Number 3 is an excellent CD. She sings "In A Friendly Little Harbor" in a quartet with Bob Davis and you can easily pick out her voice. In Number 4, she sings an unusual rendition of "And The Angels Sing."

Like with Martha's music, I will update as I find more CDs available.
