Editor's info:
3 LPs ON 2CD, INCLUDES A 16 PAGE BOOKLET
Three complete albums (originally on Capitol) plus bonus tracks on a superb two CD collection. Made during the first years of the LP era "Harry James In Hi-Fi" (1955) and its sequel, "More Harry James In Hi-Fi" (1956) comprised some of the greatest hits of the James orchestra, a unit which had been working since 1939 with few changes

The third album making up this set of quintessential mid-fifties dance band music is "Wild About Harry", recorded in the tradition of an earlier big band epoch but with modern orchestration
