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 Louis Armstrongs 20th Century volume -- its
an irresistible ten-song summary of his latter-day Decca/MCA recordings. There
may be a couple of noteworthy songs missing, but many of his best-known songs of
the era are here, including What a Wonderful World, Hello Dolly!, Dream a Little
Dream of Me, Blueberry Hill, A Kiss to Build a Dream On, Gone Fishin, and When
Its Sleepy Time Down South. 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.
