 A very nice collection November 5, 2007

This CD has an excellent variety of 25 original 1939 popular recordings with good quality sound (for 1939 anyway)and have not been re-mastered in stereo. Most of them you've probably heard before but it's nice to have the whole year represented on a single disc. For me this album is a very good buy for such a low price. Also heard here is one of my all time favorites, Larry Clinton and Bea Wain's enchanting Deep Purple. Incidentally this version was the number one song for nine weeks in 1939.

Please see my other review titled Hit Parade. My comments apply to all the CDs in this series, except 1956, where some of the songs by then were in true stereo. Hope this helps.

1939 was a year of change. America was still struggling with the Great Depression, and war was once again looming on the horizon in Europe, as Nazi Germany invaded Poland, beginning World War II. Glenn Miller was fast becoming one of the most popular band leaders, and popular singers such as Bing Crosby, Mary Martin, the Andrews Sisters and Kate Smith were still giving us feel-good music. Nylons were becoming popular with young women. John Steinbeck published one of his award-winning novels, "The Grapes of Wrath." Movies debuting in 1939 included "The Philadelphia Story," "The Wizard of Oz," and "Gone with the Wind." The nation grieved with Lou Gehrig as he publicly announced his battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
"Hit Parade 1939" is the second in a series that gives us a sampling of the music that was popular with our grandparents, music that was mostly upbeat and happy.
This album begins with what is arguably Glenn Miller's most popular tune, "Moonlight Serenade," along with another popular tune of the time, "In the Mood." Lawrence Welk gave us his first hit with "Bubbles in the Wine," most often marked as his signature tune, and Judy Garland sung about "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in the 1939 theatrical release of "The Wizard of Oz." And who can forget Kate Smith's rendition of "God Bless America?"
This album was produced very similarly to "Hit Parade 1938," in that other than the cleaning up of pops, scratches and hiss from the original lacquers, these are, essentially, the original recordings as they were heard on the radio and records in 1939.
Take a trip back in time on Memory Lane and experience a world that has been preserved for us in words and music.
