1	Jersey Beat: The Music of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons (2007) more music like this by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons In the wake of the success of Jersey Boys, the theatrical production based on the Four Seasons' lives, Rhino issued this impressive three-CD, 76-track box set, which also includes a DVD of a dozen film clips from 1962-1975. It's never been hard to find a Four Seasons best-of that includes all their big hits (which are all here as well), but for ... see all copies from $49.86! new only from $49.86!
2	In Season: The Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons Anthology (2001) more music like this by Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons For those who've lived under a rock for almost 50 years, this review will mean less than nothing. The rest of us have no doubt encountered -- on some television program, a commercial for a K-Tel oldies collection, or, in rarer cases, songs floating in the background on a film soundtrack -- Frankie Valli's shattering falsetto fronting his rock and ... see all copies from $21.44! new only from $21.44!
3	A Swingin' Affair! (1957) more music like this by Frank Sinatra In some ways, A Swingin' Affair! is "Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, Pt. 2," following the same formula of Sinatra's hit album of the previous year. Beneath the surface, there are enough variations on A Swingin' Affair! to make it a distinctive, and equally enjoyable listen. The most noticeable difference between the two records is their basic ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.03!
4	Anthology 1934-1942 (2007) more music like this by Jimmie Lunceford Jimmie Lunceford's orchestra was one of the definitive swinging big bands of the '30s, in the same league as the bands led by Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Don Redman, Claude Hopkins, Earl Hines, Count Basie and Chick Webb. The Jimmie Lunceford orchestra served as an incubator for jazz talent like trombonist Trummy Young, saxophonist Willie ... see all copies from $11.52! new only from $11.52!
5	Too Long in Exile (1993) more music like this by Van Morrison The title track is a mundane cross between contemporary blues and soft rock with a chorus repeated ad nauseam. Next up is the gently rocking blues of "Big Time Operator" featuring Georgie Fame on organ. Morrison bites into a delicious cover of Ray Charles' "Lonely Avenue." John Lee Hooker appears on two striking duets, "Gloria" and "Wasted Years." ... see all copies from $5.00!
6	Vaya Con Dios (2005) more music like this by Les Paul & Mary Ford see all copies from $4.00! new only from $8.53!
7	The New Sound/Les Paul's New Sound, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this by Les Paul & Mary Ford Despite the joint billing, Mary Ford is only a minor presence on this CD reissue of two original albums. She doesn't appear at all on The New Sound, a 1950 album of guitar instrumentals featuring Les Paul's pioneering tape manipulations that combine breakthrough multi-track recording with frenetic sped-up guitar playing. Les Paul's New Sound, made ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
8	The Rockin' Chair Lady [Living Era] (2007) more music like this by Mildred Bailey In honor of what would have been her 100th birthday, Living Era presents a double-CD tribute to Mildred Bailey that should be considered among the very best in her entire digital discography. One of at least five Bailey compilations with the words "Rockin' Chair" in the title, this 50-track "Centenary Issue" deserves high praise for excellent ... see all copies from $10.16! new only from $10.16!
9	Mule Skinner Blues (1960) more music like this by The Fendermen The unlikely hit "Muleskinner Blues" sold over one million copies in April 1960. Soon afterwards, the guitar-toting duo the Fendermen were household names, even getting to perform on American Bandstand alongside Bobby Darin. BeatRocket's collection compiles a selection of 45s and album tracks recorded between 1960 and 1964. "Jimmie Rogers meets ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $15.00!
10	Judy [32 Jazz] (1998) more music like this by Judy Garland Producer Joel Dorn acquired rights to the audio and video recordings of the 1963-4 television series The Judy Garland Show, but then became more ambitious in creating this four-CD (plus half-hour VHS tape) box set. Apparently with the assistance of Garland fan Scott Schecter, Dorn acquired other Garland recordings, notably airchecks, and licensed ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $115.39!
11	Double Exposure (1961) more music like this by Chris Connor and Maynard Ferguson see all copies from $10.00! new only from $12.55!
12 view cover	Starring Sammy Davis Jr. (1955) more music like this by Sammy Davis Jr. The career of Sammy Davis, Jr., which had proceeded slowly as he performed with the Will Mastin Trio in the late '40s and early '50s, started to move much faster when he signed to Decca Records in 1954 (his first major-label deal in four years) and reached the charts for the first time with his Top 20 cover of "Hey There." Then, he was involved in ... see all copies from $10.47! new only from $10.47!
13 view cover	Is Everybody Happy? (1999) more music like this by Ted Lewis A native of Circleville, OH, Ted Lewis is said to have organized his first vaudeville band in 1910, recorded with Earl Fuller in 1917, and started making records for Columbia with his own jazz band in 1919. Historical motion pictures exist of Lewis prancing around wearing a ratty top hat, lustily hollering his famous slogan, "Is everybody happy?," ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.83!
14 view cover	Back Home Again (1971) more music like this by Lee Wiley see all copies from $6.00! new only from $19.28!
15 view cover	King of the Surf Guitar [Sundazed] (2007) more music like this by Dick Dale Dick Dale was becoming one of the biggest rock & roll acts in California's history in 1962 when he was signed to Capitol Records, who reissued his album Surfer's Choice (which had already moved close to 90,000 copies on Dale's own Deltone label) and put him into the studio to cut some fresh material for his new sponsors. Overall, King of the Surf ... see all copies from $7.45! new only from $9.54!

17 view cover	The Best of the Rat Pack [Legacy] (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
18 view cover	Is Everybody Happy Now? (1998) more music like this by Ted Lewis This collection focuses more on Lewis's popular sides, although there's a lot of soloing by the likes of Spanier and Goodman, and worthwhile contributions by Teagarden and Dorsey as well. The presence of the title track and "When My Baby Smiles at Me" will make this disc the obvious choice for anyone seeking a portrait of Lewis in music, although ... see all copies from $15.55! new only from $15.55!
19 view cover	At the Atlanta Jazz Party (1994) more music like this by Barbara Lea & Ed Polcer All-stars see all copies from $6.74! new only from $17.23!
20 view cover	Lazy Day (2003) more music like this by Ray Noble/Al Bowlly see all copies from $16.95! new only from $19.19!
21 view cover	1948-1949 (2007) more music like this by Lonnie Johnson New Orleans-born guitarist Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson recorded at least 237 blues and jazz sides between the years 1925 and 1947. The only reissue label that has bothered to produce a meticulous overview of this body of works is Document; their Lonnie Johnson retrospective fills no less than ten compact discs. Classics, the other great ... see all copies from $10.95! new only from $10.95!

23 view cover	Gold Collection [Retro] (1998) more music like this by Peggy Lee see all copies from $8.80! new only from $8.97!
24 view cover	Outa Sight (1962) more music like this by Earl Anderza It is a pity that this 1998 CD reissue (which includes the original liner notes) says nothing about what ever happened to Earl Anderza. The date (which has its original eight selections augmented by "I'll Be Around" and two previously unheard alternate takes) was the altoist's only one as a leader, and he has been little heard from since. Anderza ... see all copies from $24.67! new only from $24.67!
25 view cover	Prayer Meetin' [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Jimmy Smith Playing piano-style single-note lines on his Hammond B-3 organ, Jimmy Smith revolutionized the use of the instrument in a jazz combo setting in the mid-'50s and early '60s, and arguably his best albums for Blue Note during this period were the ones he did with tenor sax player Stanley Turrentine. Recorded on February 8, 1963, at Van Gelder Studio ... see all copies from $5.20! new only from $5.20!
