World's Greatest Polka Package

Search: Peaches
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 30, 2002
This collection is assembled with very little, if any, thought to editing. The CD has a very wide variety of polka styles, eras of recordings and quality level of recordings. If you're looking for music to assign to playlists, you will find more songs to discard than ones to keep from this CD. For nine bucks, I don't mind the gamble, but I certainly will not revisit most of the tracks. The recordings on this CD from Whoopee John were probably recorded shortly after Whoopee was discovered.

Polka Dance Party, Vol. 4

Search: Peaches
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 30, 2002
This is the fourth, and apparently final, volume in the Polka Dance Party series. All four consist simply of old recordings by various artists, and all four fall short of top-notch recording quality. The overall level (and bass) is lacking, requiring extra volume on playback. Volumes 3 and 4 are a cut above Volume 2, but some problems remain. At least one number, "Laendler" (actually a polka) by the Six Fat Dutchmen, is cut off at the beginning. Another, "Happy Wanderer" by Frankie Yankovic, starts off with some wow and flutter, as though the turntable had not reached full playing speed when the recording began. You'd be better off with single-artist CDs from Frankie Yankovic, Joey Miskulin, Walter Ostanek, ... Read More:

Polka Dance Party, Vol. 1

Search: Peaches
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 30, 2002
Unless I miss my guess, this material is at least two decades old, and probably in the public domain by now. There are 20 tracks performed by eight different obscure polka artists. Recording quality is far from superb. On some of the Deutchmeisters tracks, all the microphones seem to have been placed near the drums, making it difficult to hear anything else. Some instruments on the Polka Padre tracks seem to have been full of water, judging from the gurgling. Watch out for the repackaging. The CD says Polka Dance Party Volume 1, but the cover says Polka's Greatest Hits Volume 1... Don't be trapped into buying Polka's Greatest Hits if you already have Polka Dance Party, or vice versa. A small example of the manufacturer's carelessness ... Read More:

Release Date May 14, 2002
CDs on this label are frequently just rehashes of much older material. The various tracks here date from the early 50's to the late 60's, and the sound quality is the worst I have ever heard. In fact, I can't figure out how they made it sound so bad. I have the original vinyls of most of these tracks, and there is absolutely no comparison. Perhaps they put a microphone up to the speaker of an old radio-phonograph, or maybe they transmitted it over a low-speed dial-up internet connection. Stay away! This thing shouldn't even be on the market, and the engineers who manufactured it ought to be put into the stockade at once.
