1	Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy: Greatest Hits (2001) more music like this by The Andrews Sisters Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy: Greatest Hits features 42 songs by the Andrews Sisters recorded between 1944 and 1952. While this compilation does include many familiar songs and several duets with Carmen Miranda, Danny Kaye, Burl Ives, Les Paul and Bing Crosby, the 16-track, MCA compilation Greatest Hits: The 60th Anniversary Collection is still the ... see all copies from $16.88! new only from $17.02!
2	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Les Paul (2001) more music like this by Les Paul This would be more properly titled "The Best of Les Paul at Decca," as all 12 of the songs are taken from his slim body of 1944-1947 Decca recordings. That isn't to say that these aren't quality tracks that are of substantial importance to Paul's discography, only that they certainly aren't among his best or most popular, particularly as none of ... see all copies from $6.85! new only from $6.85!
3	Hit Parade 1946 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.08! new only from $3.08!
4	Billboard Pop Memories: 1945-1949 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists As the 1940s wore on, the end of the big band/swing era resulted in changes on the pop music horizon. This fourth disc in Rhino's latest pre-rock series, Billboard Pop Memories: 1945-1949 shows how sophisticated, jazzy fare declined, and forgettable, novelty numbers reigned. Peggy Lee's "Mañana," with its phony Afro-Latin vocal and exaggerated ... see all copies from $6.42! new only from $6.42!
5	Number One Hits of the 1940's (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Sony Special Product's Number One Hits of the 1940s revisits ten songs from that decade. Among the highlights are original versions of "Rumors Are Flying" (Frankie Carle), "Anniversary Song" (Dinah Shore), and "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" (Les Brown). This is a worthy budget-priced collection for fans of the big band and vocal pop of the era ... see all copies from $4.44! new only from $4.44!
6	Their All-Time Greatest Hits (1994) more music like this by The Andrews Sisters In some ways, this 46-song double-CD compilation is a brilliantly conceived and executed overview of the Andrews Sisters' career on Decca Records from 1939 until 1950. The collection is remastered in superb sound with surprising presence and vivid detail, the material is priceless, and only a 20-bit digital treatment is likely to make it any ... see all copies from $28.50!
7	As Time Goes By (2000) more music like this by Tony Martin This compilation was assembled by the British budget label Prism Leisure, taking advantage of the 50-year copyright limit on recordings in Europe to transfer old records onto a CD without the bother of paying the original copyright holders for licensing. (In the U.S., the tracks remain in copyright, yet this import was readily available ... see all copies from $8.00!

9	Best of Big Band 1946 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Though by no means definitive, the seventh volume in BMG's multi-part, budget-line overview of the big band sound of the 1940s is still a good introduction to the swing era -- while the omission of liner notes is endlessly frustrating, the overall sound quality is strong, and perennials like Perry Como's "Prisoner of Love," Vaughn Monroe's "The ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $3.50!
10	The Very Best of the Columbia Years (2002) more music like this by Frankie Carle Frankie Carle's sweet band enjoyed their greatest period of popularity in the mid-'40s, when they ranked just behind Swing and Sway With Sammy Kaye and Les Brown and His Band of Renown, scoring hits like "A Little on the Lonely Side," "Oh! What It Seemed to Be," and "Rumors Are Flying," each of which hit number one in Billboard and/or on Your Hit ... see all copies from $9.20! new only from $9.20!

12 view cover	Golden Greats (2002) more music like this by The Andrews Sisters This three-CD set is very attractive in some obvious ways -- listing for barely $11.00 and containing 75 songs, it's the most generously programmed Andrews Sisters compilation that one can buy, even outstripping the Readers' Digest collection from the '90s. That's more than three hours of music, and it's hard to complain about the programming, all ... see all copies from $8.65!

14 view cover	The Best of Tony Martin: The Mercury Years (1996) more music like this by Tony Martin The Best of the Mercury Years is a 25-track collection of Tony Martin's recordings for Mercury. The compilation contains every track Martin recorded for Mercury, including his hit "To Each His Own," making it the definitive retrospective of his tenure at the label. Even though the collection is complete and lovingly produced, it's concentration on ... see all copies from $17.99!

19 view cover	Greatest Hits [Primo] (2006) more music like this by Les Paul & Mary Ford It's virtually impossible to imagine modern music without the contributions of Les Paul. Not only was he a brilliant jazz guitarist with no fear of going pop or country, he literally made the template for how a good electric guitar should be made when he designed his famous Les Paul model for Gibson Guitars. Add in the fact that he single-handedly ... see all copies from $14.04! new only from $14.04!

21 view cover	Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy [Dynamic] (2008) more music like this by The Andrews Sisters It's impossible, even at 25 tracks, for a single-disc collection to comprehensively cover the career of the Andrews Sisters, who charted an almost unbelievable 113 singles during their Decca years from the late '30s through the early '50s. This release hits the obvious high points, but also includes tracks like "Scrub Me Mama with a Boogie Beat," ... see all copies from $5.19! new only from $5.19!

23 view cover	Cocktail Hour (2000) more music like this by The Andrews Sisters This two-disc collection is designed to introduce the Andrews Sisters to the post-grunge, neo-lounge crowd. Ironically, many in that target demographic knew about this 1940s supergroup by the time this disc was released in September of 2000, about when the swing revival started to slow down. However, this is a good selection of some of the best ... see all copies from $5.93!
