A terrific eight-record collection celebrating the popular music of the 1940s, featuring memorable songs and performances spanning the entire decade, from 1940 through 1949.
This collection brings together an impressive lineup of legendary performers and orchestras, including Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Guy Lombardo, Vaughn Monroe, Dinah Shore, Judy Garland, Perry Como, Woody Herman, Sammy Kaye and many more.
Featuring eight LPs organized chronologically throughout the decade, the collection captures the evolution of American popular music during the wartime and postwar years. Big band swing, traditional pop, romantic ballads, dance music and nostalgic favorites are all represented.
Includes classics such as “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” “Blueberry Hill,” “Moonlight Becomes You,” “Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree,” “I'll Never Smile Again,” “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition,” “I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire,” “I Wonder, I Wonder, I Wonder” and many others.
Includes all eight original Reader’s Digest/RCA Custom LPs, individual illustrated record sleeves and original presentation box with complete track listings.
An extensive collection of 1940s popular music and a great addition for anyone who enjoys big band, swing, traditional pop and the music of this remarkable era.
**Excellent overall condition.** Records and individual sleeves are very well preserved, with the original box and complete collection included.
