Mugzy's Move
Royal Crown Revue were between releases when the short-lived swing revival turned relative newcomers Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy into household names. Originally released in the preresurgence year 1996, this collection finds Eddie Nichols's charismatic crooning and his band's revved-up revivalism in fine form. RCR favorites like "Hey Pachuco!" and "Zip-Gun Bop," which were both featured on the band's 1992 indie debut, are given the widescreen treatment here by Van Halen producer Ted Templeman. Other highlights include a cover of "Beyond the Sea" and "Barflies at the Beach," a wild remake of Louis Prima's "Sing Sing Sing" where Nichols sings the virtues of Flipper-laden tuna and other natural wonders. (Note: "Barflies" was added for this 1998 reissue.) As fate would have it, the band that launched the whole swing resurgence never really profited from its success. But as Nichols's heroes would say, that's show biz. --Bill Forman more

- Tons of Fun
What can I say, this is a fun filled and fun to listen to recording. It's lighthearted and a musical blast. Some of the best neo-swing music around. Outstanding musicianship all the way around!Give it a spin!

- Fun but cheesy
This era of music, the late 90's swing revival (like Cherry Popping Daddies)... not sure what to call it ("nu-swing"?) is not an style that I got into. During the late 90's, I was listening to a lot of Marilyn Manson and Megadeth. Now...

- Great swing revival band.
I love this group. Eddie Nichols rivals Bobby Darin (listen to Beyond the Sea and compare) for vocal ability and cool.

- Critics eh?
One thing is correct, you can't completely trust critics. Allmusic guide's review for this album takes the example. It wasn't the score (four stars out of five), but the review was crap. They think this band is a joke. THey actually...

- Good music, lousy lyrics
The music is great, the singer has a smooth voice, but these songs are just bad! Too many of them are just goofy. My least favorite of the recent revival of "swing" bands. Disappointing.
