This is a remastered release of the 1965 LP and was their last recording on RCA. This is classic stuff and shows why the Buffalo Bills are the most revered of the original barbershop quartets. A must for collectors and fans!

Songlist: Remembering Time, Wait Till The Sun Shines, Nellie, Moon River, Ramona, I Wonder What's Become Of Sally?, The Sweetheart Of Sigma Chi, Medley: Meet Me Tonight In Dreamland; Dear Old Girl, Beautiful Dreamer, Hello, Dolly!, I Want A Girl (Just Like The Girl That Married Dear Old Dad), The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise, I Left My Heart In San Francisco

The Bills bubbled to the top of the public consciousness during their star turn in the "Music Man," as the members of the River City School Board who sing "Lida Rose" (a moment in barbershop history that would introduce many of us novices to the style). In fact, though, they continued to live long and prosper way beyond that. As Columbia recording artists, they produced many albums (some with accompaniment), the highlights of which are compiled on these two CD's produced by Brian Beck. Digitally re-mastered to bring the quality to modern standards (though several tracks from their very earliest recording efforts couldn't be repaired 100%, but heck, it's part of the charm), the Bills' sound is startlingly robust for a group that won 50 years ago! Significant credit for this must be given to the arrangements of Walter Latzko, who began an eight-album association with the quartet in 1951; his impact on barbershop singing in general can hardly be overstated. The Bills brought those arrangements to life, embodying yearning and romance ("I'd Love To Live In Loveland," "Your Eyes Have Told Me So," "If You Were The Only Girl"), as well as broad tomfoolery and brisk cheer, during romps such as "Toot Toot Tootsie," "Dardanella" and "With Plenty Of Money And You." The longevity of their success may also be due in part to the smooth musicality of their approach and the warmth of their tone; though not breaking any sound barriers technically by today's standards, they don't need to. Released as part of the AIC Masterworks series to coincide with the 50th Annual Society Convention in Kansas City, this CD set is a great value.
