Interesting Capitol reissue4
Until the late 1980s and 1990s, EMI-Capitol was not big on their roots in the popular music of the 1940s. Most of their jazz based singing records from the 1940s and 1950s were discontinued (by the 1970s) in their American catalogue and only reissued via EMI's Japanese or European affiliates. So it is a pleasant surprise to see the flood of reissues that have occurred in the past 13 years. I stumbled on "The Birth of a Label" tonight at Tower records and was impressed by the packaging of the cd. The cover looks like the paper sleeve of a Capitol 78 rpm record from the 1940s. Unfortunately the jacket omits important information. For example: for people new to this music, maybe it would be helpful to know that's Billie Holiday singing with Paul "Pops" Whiteman on "Travellin' Light". And the woman singing "That Old Black Music" with the Freddy Slack orchestra sounds suspiciously like Margaret Whiting. Also nowhere are there dates and locations listed for the performances. Other singers are omitted leaving the listener to wonder who is singing with the band. Hopefully future volumes will correct these errors. Other than that, it's nice to have these "beginners" for Capitol back in circulation. The sound quality is very good and the songs selected are very good too.
