This group is absolutlely amazing in it's capture of the music from times gone by. All of the old background music themes from these early "rascals" and some Laurel and Hardy songs are included. Although short in duration, they bring back long happy and silly moments of memory. Wonderful attention to technical detail by this group. Just imagine the pops, crackles, skips and hiss being removed from a recording and you have this music in all it's clarity. Want to tap your toe to a few catchy and unforgettable tunes? Want your mind to generate funny moments of video within your head? Get this CD!

Dear lovers of the music of "The Beau Hunks",
I was very surprised to find this CD being sold for such an outrageous price. Please note this:
The music on this CD originally appeared on two CD's, recorded in the Netherlands in 1992/1993. This compilation was manufactured in 1994 by an American label for the American market, under the name 'play the original "Little Rascals" music'. Sadly, this company choose to discontinue this item. (Look at "On To The Show" to find out what happened to our third CD...)
However, the original two CD's, called "The Beau Hunks play the original Laurel & Hardy music", are still readily available on the Dutch Basta label, nr. 3099 026. On this CD, you will hear also music by 'the other L & H composer', T. Marvin Hatley.
So, if you're wise...
Peter Stöve,
arranger/conductor of "The Beau Hunks".

This CD is the kind of thing you dream about! I love 'The Little Rascals' and the music was always memorable. Usually I collect original recordings only, but this is actually better than having the original recordings. The Beau Hunks have done a very special and incredible tribute to the Rascal's music. By using period instruments and microphones this band has painstakingly put together perfect reproductions of the original songs minus crackles,pops and production standards from the 1920's and 30's! It's nothing short of amazing and the CD is loaded to boot! I'm glad I bought this when it was in print. There was a second disc release called 'On With The Show' Which includes another 50 tracks of the remaining material. This is a fantastic disc!

Never thought I could ever find a collection like this. Buy this one over the later (1995) released "Beau Hunks play more Little Rascals hits"....but get both if possible. 2nd CD has dupicates from 1st CD...but also has quite a few little known tunes than the first.
First heard this CD in 1997 when visiting Disney World. It was playing in one of their gift shops...and had to ask the cashier to show me the cover to find out who it was.
Amazing job by these musicians....but the credit all goes to Leroy Shields...the original composer of these tunes.
You will definately enjoy this collection of songs.

Do you ever hear a song and associate it distinctly with a particular movie or occurance? There is nothing like music to bring back memories, and the memories that this music brings back is always happy. Each song is rather short in length which helps the CD flow rather well. However, each one has its own distinct melody that you'll probably find yourself humming throughout your day (if you haven't already).
What is especially exciting is the booklet. It contains information about the usage of each song in The Little Rascals and other Hal Roach comedies, especially the Laurel and Hardy films. There are many photographs as well.
This is an excellent piece for any fan of the Rascals and nostalgia. All of the tracks are instrumental and faithfully reconstructed. It is equally enjoyable to listen concentratedly or to play the CD as background music.
