Complete Little Rascals Music - Wonderful January 24, 2007
This is an excellent compilation and performance of the wonderful music created by Leroy Shields for Hal Roach durng the 20's and 30's. The theme to the Little Rascals is my favorite and everytime I hear it - it makes me smile. A must for lovers of the "The Little Rascals" shorts.
PERFECT!! October 10, 2005

A Little Rascals or Laural and Hardy short is incomplete without the musical soundtrack dancing in the backround that we all love and know so well. If this is what you wanted, and it sure is what I've wanted for a long ,long time, only one word could describe it: PERFECT!

Definitely not an "historically informed performance" in today's accepted sense, and yet that's exactly what it is, the differences being of repertoire and musical instruments. Holland's Beau Hunks (named for a Laurel and Hardy film) have gone to the trouble of giving us note-for-note recreations of Leroy Shield's prolific Little Rascals output performed on instruments of the type used for the original soundtracks, and the results are astounding--truly a labor of love. I can't imagine these recordings would be of much interest to non-fans but to those of us who are, they're enchanting. They remind me not only of my childhood (I suspect most of us who grew up during the 50's and 60's here in the States watched TLR on TV) but also of the great LR festivals that were held during the 80's here in NYC every Friday midnight at the St. Mark's Theater. Those were more permissive times and fans used to wait in the ticket holders line, partaking with impunity of a particular variety of imported "tobacco" before being allowed in to find seats. And while some of us have moved beyond certain such not-strictly-legal activities in which we engaged at that time, I'd like to believe that our development remained arrested with regard to forms of entertainment like TLR. Really great stuff, in no small part because of that wonderful, evocative, immediately recognizable music.
Incidentally (collectors take note), the inserts for this set differ slightly from those included with the CD's sold for individual purchase. The most obvious differences concern the first disk (TBH Play the Original LR Music) and include the cover art's being sepia-toned as opposed to black-and-white; the stock itself isn't as nice, either (it's not nearly as heavy). Also, both disks in the box are labeled on their back inserts as being part of a box, so if such things are important, examine your set with these differences in mind--they're the easiest ones to spot. No extra materials are included, hence there's no advantage to owning the box over the individual CD's unless having the slipcase is important; it might also be a bit easier to acquire the separate CD's (the first of which is way OOP, as is the box).
Just the Best!!! December 19, 2004

These cds will take you back to when you were a kid sitting in front of the tv on Saturday morning watching the Little Rascals and eating your Pep or Cheerios. They are spot-on recreations of the music you listened to growing up and watching the Little Rascal shorts. If you are like me, you will be listening and you will mentally flash on a scene from one of the shorts. These are must have discs for your collection.

WOW...these transcriptions of the Little Rascals music are priceless. They are all played with energy and vigor. This is the Beau Hunks' absolute best recording. If you love the Little Rascals OR the incidental music of films from the 1930s, you gotta have this one.
