Like any record company worth their salt, MCA knows a good gimmick when they see
it, and when the millennium came around...well, the 20th Century Masters -- The
Millennium Collection wasnt too far behind. Supposedly, the millennium is a
momentous occasion, but its hard to feel that way when its used as another
excuse to turn out a budget-line series. But apart from the presumptuous title,
20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection turns out to be a very good
budget-line series. True, its impossible for any of these brief collections to
be definitive, but theyre nevertheless solid samplers that dont feature a bad
song in the bunch. For example, take Judy Garlands 20th Century volume -- its an
irresistible 12-song summary of her Decca years. There may be a couple of
noteworthy songs missing, but many of her best-known songs for the label are
here, including Over the Rainbow, I Got Rhythm, Meet Me in St. Louis,
Embraceable You, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, But Not for Me, Swanee,
The Trolley Song and On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe. Serious fans will
want something more extensive, but this is an excellent introduction for
neophytes and a great sampler for casual fans, considering its length and price.
That doesnt erase the ridiculousness of the series title, but the silliness is
excusable when the music and the collections are good.
