1	Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Xmas Novelty CD (1989) more music like this by Various Artists If you like your Christmas tidings with a dollop of good humor, then this batch of holiday tunes is right up your alley. The lineup ranges from cute and innocuous (the Chipmunks, the Singing Dogs, and Spike Jones) to satirical (Stan Freberg and Allan Sherman) and just plain weird (Elmo and Patsy's "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" and Tom ... see all copies from £9.24! new only from £9.87!
2	What's New (1983) more music like this by Linda Ronstadt & the Nelson Riddle Orchestra Instead of trying to compete with a newer, fashion-conscious pop marketplace, Linda Ronstadt removed herself from the rat race, recording an album of traditional pop standards with Nelson Riddle. Ronstadt's voice isn't always showcased to a fine effect on these songs, but the record is an interesting change of pace. And it would have been more ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £9.71!
3	Éternelle (2000) more music like this by Edith Piaf EMI's U.K. collection of Edith Piaf, titled Éternelle, is quite a nice set that includes many of Piaf's numerous hits, such as "La Vie en Rose" and "La Goualante du Pauvre Jean." Overall, Éternelle is comparable to the U.S. mainstay on Capitol Records, The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf, but with only seven of the 18 songs ... see all copies from £7.37! new only from £7.37!
4	The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf (1991) more music like this by Edith Piaf Capitol's The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Piaf offers 18 selections from the Edith Piaf songbook, in nearly every case the best version of the song -- whether performed during the '30s, '40s, or '50s. Many of her best songs are here, from her signature songs -- "La Vie en Rose" and "L'Accordéoniste" -- to "Hymne À l'Amour" and ... see all copies from £4.79! new only from £7.32!
5	Double Time (1977) more music like this by Leon Redbone Leon Redbone followed up his debut long-player On the Track (1975) with Double Time (1977), an equally enchanting, if not somewhat eclectic blend, of jazz, folk, blues and pop standards -- all in Redbone's undeniably distinct throaty baritone. While the tunes may be familiar, these renderings are steeped in the artist's unique sensibilities. The ... see all copies from £4.03! new only from £8.88!
6	Edith Piaf: 30th Anniversaire (1994) more music like this by Edith Piaf Capitol Records compiled a definitive collection of Edith Piaf's work 30 years after her death; the compilation includes both the well-known ("La Vie en Rose," "Milord," "Padam...Padam," "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," etc.) and the hard to find (including "Johnny Tu N'Es Pas un Ange," "Un Dimanche à Londres," "À Quoi Ça Sert l'Amour?," and "A L ... see all copies from £15.30! new only from £17.95!
7	The Best of the Capitol Masters: 90th Birthday Edition (2005) more music like this by Les Paul & Mary Ford A good single-disc distillation of the highlights of Les Paul's epic four-disc box set, The Legend and the Legacy, The Best of the Capitol Masters is all most casual fans will need to own. [Best of the Capitol Masters: 90th Birthday Edition, which includes "Dialog/In the Mood," "Brazil" and "Excerpt from the Les Paul Show: "The Case of the ... see all copies from £8.03! new only from £8.03!
8	American Originals (1993) more music like this by Andy Griffith American Originals unexpectedly revived Andy Griffith's musical career. Thanks to a series of television commercials, the album became a hit, even if it never charted -- then again, the album was never designed with the charts in mind; it was targeted at the legions of Griffith fans who grew up on The Andy Griffith Show and currently watch Matlock ... see all copies from £3.81! new only from £3.81!
9	On the Track (1975) more music like this by Leon Redbone This is the debut long-player from Leon Redbone (guitar/harmonica/vocals/throat tromnet), a one-man folk/jazz enigma. Although it was incorrectly rumored that the artist was a musical visage of Frank Zappa, Redbone began getting notice during a stint in Toronto, Ontario, in the early '70s. For On the Track (1975), he offers a uniquely authentic ... see all copies from £5.56! new only from £9.65!
10	Pure Gershwin (1987) more music like this by Michael Feinstein Pure delight. Feinstein's reading of other composers is very, very good, but his feeling for Gershwin (as might be expected from a man who worked with Ira Gershwin for years) is near perfect. Feinstein's piano playing is excellent here, and he relishes every syllable of the words. 'S wonderful. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.47! new only from £9.21!
11 view cover	Sugar (1991) more music like this by Leon Redbone Leon Redbone entered the 1990s with the baker's dozen of selections on Sugar (1991), one of his best overall efforts to date. His unique and unmistakable interpretations of obscure jazz and early popular melodies are augmented by the occasional and equally singular original composition. The tunes are carefully crafted in such a way that they ably ... see all copies from £4.38! new only from £7.57!
12 view cover	Crazy Rhythm (2005) more music like this by Les Paul & His Trio It's virtually impossible to imagine modern music without the contributions of Les Paul. Not only was he a brilliant jazz guitarist with no fear of pop or country, he literally laid the framework for how a good electric guitar should be made when he designed his famous Les Paul model for Gibson Guitars. Add in the fact that he single-handedly ... see all copies from £7.73! new only from £7.73!
13 view cover	As Time Goes By: The Best of Jimmy Durante (1993) more music like this by Jimmy Durante As Time Goes By: The Best of Jimmy Durante compiles all of the highlights from Jimmy Durante's stint with Warner Brothers, which is where he had his biggest hits. All of his hits, including "September Song," are included on the disc, making it the definitive compilation. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from £6.54! new only from £6.54!
14 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Andrews Sisters (2000) more music like this by The Andrews Sisters Another excellent entry in MCA's Millennium Collection, this features 12 of the Andrews Sisters' biggest hits, including "Bei Mir Bist du Schon," "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar," "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree," and "Rum and Coca-Cola." A great, little introductory set of the girls' best work. Cub Koda, All Music ... see all copies from £4.87! new only from £6.16!

17 view cover	Ultimate Broadway (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Following in the footsteps of other installments in Arista's Ultimate series, Ultimate Broadway is an excellent sampler of some of the greatest songs and performances in the history of the Great White Way. Almost all of the 40 songs on the two discs in this collection are performed by the original Broadway casts, which makes it an excellent ... see all copies from £15.10! new only from £15.10!
18 view cover	G.I. Jukebox: Songs from World War II (1998) more music like this by Various Artists G.I. Jukebox: Songs from World War II is an excellent single-disc collection of World War II hits, both those related to the action ("G.I. Jive," "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Town of Berlin, " "Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer"), and much simpler fare ("Tangerine, " "Rum and Coca-Cola, " "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe"). Each is the ... see all copies from £6.95! new only from £10.34!
19 view cover	La Vie en Rose: La Môme (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack While the soundtrack to the 2007 Edith Piaf biography, La Vie en Rose (aka La Môme) -- which features a fantastic performance by Marion Cotillard as the Sparrow -- doesn't include only Piaf songs (that's only the first third), the rest of the album, filled out by pieces from the original score and versions of some of her songs ("Les Hiboux," "Mon ... see all copies from £12.38! new only from £12.38!
20 view cover	Christmas Island [Bonus Track] (2003) more music like this by Leon Redbone Leon Redbone's odd voice always takes a while to get used to, but his sincere interpretations of early jazz styles generally win audiences over. For this warm session, he sings 11 Christmas songs, including old favorites ("White Christmas," "Frosty the Snowman," and "Let It Snow") and some lesser-known but worthy numbers ("There's No Place Like ... see all copies from £6.98! new only from £6.98!
21 view cover	Hymn to Love: All Her Greatest Songs in English (1996) more music like this by Edith Piaf see all copies from £8.90! new only from £8.90!
22 view cover	Those Were Our Songs: Music of World War II (2001) more music like this by Various Artists World War II and big-band pop-era compilations are released almost as regularly as Christmas albums, and the glut has caused more harm than good; it seems any good ones are quickly swallowed up by the racks full of short, ill-advised, uninformative collections. Though any single label could never do justice to the war years, with a little clever ... see all copies from £13.86! new only from £13.86!
23 view cover	Show Boat [1951 Soundtrack] [Bonus Tracks] (1951) more music like this by Various Artists The soundtrack album for the 1951 MGM production of Show Boat (the third film version of the 1927 musical) was released in the summer of that year and spent 19 weeks at the top of the Billboard album chart. The 10" LP (also released as a set of 45s) featured eight songs -- "Make Believe," "Bill," "Life Upon the Wicked Stage," "You Are Love," "Can ... see all copies from £7.45! new only from £7.45!
24 view cover	Champagne Charlie (1978) more music like this by Leon Redbone From the opening track, "Champagne Charlie," to the dazzling finale, "T.B. Blues," Leon Redbone presents an introspective collection of blues and big band melodies in timeless fashion, a rare feat because of its release date in 1978. The record was highly acclaimed and regarded as the purest of jazz and classic blues by a remarkable legend and ... see all copies from £6.80! new only from £6.80!
25 view cover	Up a Lazy River (1992) more music like this by Leon Redbone Idiosyncratic singer/songwriter Leon Redbone spent the 1990s building upon his sizable cult following with more uncanny arrangements of vintage pop and jazz tunes, while simultaneously unveiling a few of his own compositions. Sporting an unmistakable and remarkably limber baritone, Redbone continues his fusion of Americana with some distinct and ... see all copies from £4.38! new only from £7.89!
