Time-Life Album Discography, Part 4:Actually, this was one of Time- Life's most popular sets, having been reissued at least three times
since its introduction in the early 1970s (see below). This may be surprising to some, since the music on
these box sets is not the original big band masters heard on the radio or purchased on record in the
1930s and 1940s. Instead, the music here is a recreation of big band songs, performed by Billy May &
His Orchestra and the Glen Gray Casa Loma Orchestra recording for Capitol Records in the 1960s and
early 1970s. What the sets do have going for them, however, is that these new recordings are in modern
high quality stereo sound, unlike the pre-CD scratchy mono low-fidelity 78s that were used for mastering
most compilations in the 1970s and 1980s. And the stereo remakes were fairly faithful to the original
sounds. Actually, these recordings are much closer to what one actually heard and experienced being at
a dance in the 1930s and 1940s with a big band, since the 1930s/1940s vintage recordings did not do
the bands justice.
But Artie Shaw, for one, was not amused at these offerings, which purported to include "Artie Shaw
Versions" although he had not played a note on them, and consequently he would receive no royalties.
He sued Time-Life for foisting fake versions off on the public, supposedly damaging his reputation and
causing him great pain and humiliation, but he eventually lost the court case. Later, perhaps as part of a
peace offering, Time-Life put out a Big Band series, which DID have the original versions, including
Shaw's original recordings, from which he would collect royalties.
The first covers to the box sets were black and white. Boxes were issued through a subscription, with
one volume being issued per quarter or so. After the initial issue, Time-Life redesigned the cover to
make them more modern and lively. Time-Life reissued all the volumes with the new color covers
starting in the mid-1970s. These box sets were also originally released in Canada and the UK with an
"STA-" prefix and same catalog numbers as the "STL-" prefix boxes issued in the U.S. The series was
manufactured by Capitol Records' Special Markets Division, so the vinyl was also first rate.
|
|
|
Original covers were black and white with a color spine, with each volume showing a couple in various
poses dancing in a white circle. As the series became very popular, Time-Life redesigned the covers,
using a color cover (with the same color as the spines were originally), with the dancing couple released
from the confinement of the circle that they were in previously. Booklets inside these two issues were
identical in most cases. |
|
|
|
Labels for each volume used different colors; although the same label design
layout was used for each volume in the series, the individual labels were black on top with a color
matching the box set cover on the bottom. |
|
|
|
Later, in the late 1970s, the set was reissued, but with beige covers and matching beige labels. The dancing couple on the cover was still retained for these issues, but they were shuffled from the first set, as dancing couples seen on one volume in the early set were now on a different volume. By the mid 1980s, the set was reissued with a completely revamped design, this time with silver covers and matching silver labels, with only a dancing couple drawn in a logo instead of the pictures used in previous incarnations. |

Starting in the late 1990s, the set was issued on 2-CD sets with black booklet covers, using the same
logo as the silver reissue. Time-Life assembled the two initial compilation CDs -- "Swingtime I" and
"Swingtime II" -- as retail offerings (see promo flier at left) with no plans to reissue the entire "Swing Era"
series. The company quickly reversed itself when response to the CDs was strong, but because
Time-Life had pulled tracks from various "Swing Era" albums to compile the "Swingtime" sets, they
couldn't do straightforward reissues of the LPs without material appearing on the later releases that had
already been used on the two compilations. Consequently, the contents of the CDs don't match those of
the LPs due to the shuffling around that was necessary to fill the holes.
A note from a reader about another LP-to-CD quirk: "The late 1990s re-release of The Swing Era omitted the vinyl album STL-351 (The Day of the Great Entertainers), which I had to digitally restore and make my own CD-R to complete the CD set. I contacted Time-Life and they informed me that they had no plans to issue the album on CD. No explanation was provided as to why." |
