The Perry Como Shows ~ 1943

& The Raymond Scott Orchestra

Volumes 1, 2 & 3 "On the Air" Series

 

These three discs replicate Perry's 1943 radio broadcasts the the way they must have sounded, with opening and closing themes, song introductions and a smattering of orchestral interludes by The Raymond Scott Orchestra. The material appears to be well researched, nicely sequenced, and honestly portrayed for what it is throughout the packaging. Listen to these recordings within the context of their time and you'll be certain to have a better understanding and appreciation of Perry's roots within early broadcast radio.
