Australian pressing. Starting as purveyors of typically serene ballads in the late '30s, the Andrews' tight harmonies virtually became the nation's soundtrack during the war years when wed to swing (the era-defining 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy") and even influences as seemingly far afield as blues ("Shoo-Shoo Baby") and calypso ("Rum And Coca-Cola"). Culled mostly from their stellar '40s prime, this collection serves as a great introduction to a stellar career-and a fine rationale for swing's unexpected modern blossoming. 16 tracks. Axis. 2002
