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.

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.

great price for 2 LPs and some 12" bonus tracks, BUT...........2007-05-25

My main reason for purchasing this disc was to finally have the 12" version of "Out of Mind Out of Sight" on CD. However, in mastering this disc, they chopped off the last 20 seconds of the 12" version, because the song sounds like it ends cold, but then some synth effects return for 20 seconds before the femal chorus jumps back in with an acapella finally. That has all been totally left off the disc. Bummer.

A terrific collection of Sousa pieces.......2006-06-09

John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) was one of America's best known composers. And he composed a wide variety of works, mostly for wind band. As a wind band member, I've played many of his marches.

You won't have any difficulty finding albums of Sousa's marches. But what about the rest of his works? This fine album includes a few and the Nonpareil Wind Band, under the direction of Timothy Foley, does an excellent job of playing them.

If I had to choose just eight of Sousa's pieces in order to introduce an audience to Sousa, here is what I would select:

El Capitan
Sound Off
With Pleasure
The Crusader
The Free Lance
The Gladiator
Semper Fidelis
The Fairest of the Fair

As you can see, half of these eight pieces are on this disc. You'll have to look elsewhere to find the others.

I highly recommend this excellent album.

A Grand Sousa Concert, Indeed.......2005-01-31

I'll come right out and say it. I love John Philip Sousa. I find his work addictive, joyous, and often very surprising. This is an album that explains why - it's perfectly arranged and performed, and the selections included could not be any better.

First of all, it's important for folks new to Sousa to understand that no, sir - he didn't compose only marches. Rather a shame that nowadays those are almost exclusively what he's legendary for - they are gems, indeed, but there's far more to the man than what we so often hear in high school bands, hometown parades and national events. Sousa could charm us with playful foxtrots, delight us with unique tangos, caress the ears with heavenly waltzes, and humor us with whimsical cakewalks. Thank goodness this album proves this truth.

Appropriately, the Great American Main Street Band plays each piece with strength, elan and respect - it doesn't get any better. The finest selections include "The Pathfinder of Panama" - a truly rousing march; "The Gliding Girl" - a tango, dedicated to his daughter, Priscilla); "The Presidential Polonaise" - a most noble dance; "La Reine de la Mer" - one of my favorite waltzes, so lovely; and "With Pleasure" - a cakewalk in the most deleriously fanciful fashion. Of course, each piece amongst these stong points is just wonderful, as well.

In all, this is just a flat out great album. Required listening for newly-minted Sousa fans, as well as members of the Old Guard - that would include me. It's a joy to hear, and will become a frequent resident in your CD shuffler - I guarantee that.

Thumbs up.......2003-02-05

Good, crisp rendering of a fine selection of Sousa pieces. Conductor Timothy Foley is well respected.

Customer Reviews:

This Cookie is a Monster.......2000-12-14

They say the eyes are the windows of the soul. I believe the sound of the voice is equally revealing. The sound of Richard "Cookie" Thomas' voice lets you know in an instant that he's a lovely, genuine, intelligent, and talented individual. Cookie has the most beautiful instrument I've heard in a very long time. People have compared him to Lou Rawls, Nat "King" Cole, and others; but, Cookie has his very own signature sound. I don't know how Cookie came up with the title "The Pleasure of Your Company" for his recording debut, but it's a perfect title. Listening to this wonderful CD is like sharing an intimate moment with a good friend. His singing is warm, rich, sophisticated and tasteful. His choice of material and musicians is superb. I highly recommend adding this CD, his Christmas release, and any of Cookie's future releases to your music collection. Thanks, Cookie, for many hours of enjoyable listening.

The Pleasure Was Mine.......2000-11-07

Cookie Thomas lives up to his promise in this warmly performed collection of first-rate songs. The cover of the CD sets the mood...a cozy invitation to curl up by the fire and listen - preferably with the one you love! He sings these numbers with the kind of sincerity only made possible by one who fully appreciates their beauty, as his clear, relaxed voice embraces every song. Cookie's voice is well mated to the Lynne Arriale Trio, who create a sensitive instrumental response to complement the singer, especially on such tunes as "The Very Thought of You," "The Nearness of You," and "When I Fall In Love." And I love those moody changes on "The Look of Love." One of the things I like best about this recording is its unadulterated approach to these classic standards. They are all gems, and they are treated as such...sounds beautiful to me!

Warm and wonderful.......2000-10-31

This is certainly a warm and wonderful collection of songs, performed with great style and feeling. Cookie is a fine vocalist and this album makes for an emphatic calling-card. What elevates it to a higher plane is the presence of the outstanding pianist Lynne Arriale and her group. Without a doubt, Lynne is one of the premier jazz keyboard stylists around, and her contribution to the disc is faultlessly sympathetic. One to buy.

Cookies Fortune.......2000-10-25

Richard Cookie Thomas is one of the finest vocalists I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His debut CD, The Pleasure of Your Company is beautifully conceived, with a palate of geogeous standards that are familiar to those of all ages and backgrounds. Check out his rendition of 'That's All', and 'What a Wonderful World' - as well as every other track on the CD and Cookie will propel you into a world of romance and relaxation! Soon, Cookie will be known internationally as one of the great voices of jazz. He certainly is a talent that deserves wider recognition - and hopefully that day is forthcoming in the very near future. Don't lose this opportunity to order this incredible CD that will both begin and end your day with warmth and love in your heart!

OZ CLASSIC POP ALBUM.......2006-02-03

u HAVE TO ADMIRE THESE GUYS, FOR CHOOSING TO USE THE TALENTED PRODUCER NICK LAUNAY ON THEIR 3RD ALBUM THE PLEASURE....
TRULY IN MY TOP TEN FAVS FOR THE 80'S
BUY IT NOW BEFORE IT COMES EXTINCT!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes exceptional, sometimes uproarious..........2005-06-22

...always interesting. Models rather drifted away from the incisive sound of this album - perhaps due to the loss of Andrew Duffield's distinctive keyboards and the increased songwriting presence of James Freud.
Singer-guitarist Sean Kelly dominates this cut with some superb numbers, particularly "I Hear Motion" - a keyboard/drum driven anthem with suitably cryptic lyrics. Other fine songs on this album are "79 A.D." - any song that can carry off the lyrics "Woah, Vesuvius, take me too" is worth listening to! - "Our Atmosphere", a Greenpeace meets Frankenstein piece - and the choral track "No Shoulders No Head". Oh, and if anybody can tell what "Holy Creation" is all about ("Say it with holes/Say it with holes/Holy Creation?Dog man with holes) is actually ABOUT, you can pursue an academic career in the humanities, as no verbal enigma is too much trouble...
Seriously, this album is great listening. As another reviewer said, its 80s music without many of the bad points (the utter self-indulgent fluffiness of it all). I also recommend their earlier efforts: "Local &/Or General" and "AlphaBravoCharlieDeltaEchoFoxtrotGolf", and the four-track "Cut Lunch".

One of the best Australian albums.......2005-05-14

An all time classic Australian album of chaotic danceable post-punk grunge. The Models peaked with this album. Their earlier stuff tended to be a bit quirky and immature, whereas their commercially successful follow-up album "Out of Mind - Out of Sight" has three great tracks (Barbados, Big On Love, Out of Mind, Out of Sight) but the rest is filler.

Best Aussie band ever.......2005-03-04

I never knew why the Models didn't make it big internationally. This album showcases The Models talent to give you songs you never get sick of. It's music from the 80's without the stereotypical 80's sound.

'I Hear Motion' is my favourite song of all time.

Classic early 80s CD.......2000-11-03

A seemingly little known early 80s Australian classic. This CD has the hit (at least in Australia) "I Hear Motion". Not a single bad track on the CD. Plenty of variety. Fans of the 80s who havent heard of this band (whose best known sing is "out of Mind, Out of Sight") really need to pick this up... it will not be a decision to regret.
