Robert Poodiak, a reader of this site, is the latest of about eighty people to let me know about this. Collectors' Choice Music is offering eight new CDs that might be of interest. They're the eight albums that Allan Sherman made for Warner Brothers Records back in the sixties — all eight, starting with the mega-selling My Son, the Folk Singer.
A few years ago, I would have snatched these up faster than you could say "Sarah Jackman" but that was before the release of the Rhino boxed set, My Son, the Box. Everything that is on these eight albums was in that set…that is, if you don't count the fact that these new releases have new liner notes by Dr. Demento. If you're a big Sherman fan, you probably have that boxed set and no need to buy these. If you don't have My Son, the Box, I'd suggest you look around and see if you can find a copy. It's out of print but it does turn up on Amazon and other places for about $140. Yeah, that's more expensive than buying these but the boxed set has other goodies on it.
If you do want to buy these eight new CDs, you'll probably want to order from Collectors' Choice. Amazon is taking orders and if I were less honest, I'd put up links to them there since I get a tiny commission on Amazon orders through this site and I get bupkiss from Collectors' Choice. But Collectors' Choice is selling them for $10.98 and Amazon is selling them for $12.98. So go where you can get the best deal.
