For a few months the Andrews Sisters joined Glenn Miller on his new weekly radio broadcasts. This is a compilation with all the Andrews Sisters' songs from these broadcasts, plus some other songs with Glenn Miller featuring Ray Eberle, Marion Hutton, and Tex Beneke.
The broadcasts were originally recorded to acetate records, and transferred to analog tape in 1965. Digitally remastered by CEDAR Restauration in 2003 from the 1965 tapes, because the original acetate records had disintegrated. The source was in bad shape, and the sound engineers were able to "squeeze the most realistic sound from the most unrealistic sources. The ticks and pops and other background noise were minimized as much as was prudent".
The introduction and closing announcements on each CD are from the original shows, and include sponsor advertising. Most of the songs feature announcements in the beginning. The idea of this compilation was to capture these historic documents, as well as people's excitement over these broadcasts back then.
This CD set got excellent customer reviews at Amazon. The songs actually sound great, and feature very lively performances. Each CD has the original announcer's introduction, then a compilation of songs with the original announcements, closed by the announcer speaking again at the end.

I just got back from a vaudeville show
Do-hoo you sing and dance
I-hi'll take a chance
We-ell OK let us go.
Well all right (well all right) dig, dig, dig
Well all right (well all right) chuff, chuff, chuff
Well all right for tonight is the night to be bright
The music's stompin' to ya, you know tonight's the night
Oh we're goin', I don't know where we'll go but we're goin',
Oh we're goin', the only thing I know is that we're goin'
Feel the rhythm runnin' through ya,
You know tonight's the night.

The music's stompin' to ya, you know tonight's the night
The lyrics to Glenn Miller's "All's Well Masmoiselle" suggest a scene where the main character, Joe, suggests to his friend, Jack, that they attend a vaudeville show where Joe finds a singing and dancing act that he likes. The two of them then decide to hit the town, unsure of where exactly they will end up. They seem to have an unspoken connection with the music that they encounter throughout the night, as they refer to it as something that is "stompin' to ya." There is an air of excitement, with the repetition of the phrase "Well all right" highlighting a sense of enthusiasm and affirmative intention. The song has a lively, upbeat melody that reinforces the sense of adventure and possibility conveyed in the lyrics.
The song itself was released in 1941 and is representative of the "swing" style of jazz that was popular at the time. It is said to have been inspired by Miller's own experience while touring with his band, during which time they would often end up at various shows and performances. One interesting aspect of the song is its use of onomatopoeic language, which mimics the sounds of the instruments being played. Additionally, the lyrics capture a sense of youthfulness and carefree abandon that was likely appealing to listeners during a time of global war and uncertainty. The jazzy, upbeat sound and the focus on fun and spontaneity would have provided a welcome escape from the challenges of daily life in the early 1940s.
