Title: How Special?
Review: In what way is this product, as its title suggests, "special"? The copy I received contains no liner notes, no information on personnel, and a less-than-sterling recording quality (as would be expected given the circumstances of the recording). The reviewer who offers information on personnel got that information from another source, and even the list of tracks which appears on this site is missing from the package. Why, the, do I give it as much as four stars? It's Duke and the wonderful 1940 version of his orchestra, and five stars is the highest allowed. In effect, given my reservations, this CD earns the highest rating possible minus one for quibbles.
