Review
First things first, the track listing may very depending on where you see the album on sale or listed. The track listing above is that which is on Amazon but different from the one on the mojo list... the songs are the same, the only difference is in the order of the tracks, so it is pretty much the same as the tracks are unrelated.
Again this is a pretty interesting collection of pre-rock music. In fact it is a better collection than Vol.3 which we've had here before, if for no other reason because most of the tracks are more familiar to the listener.
In fact I don't think there is a single track in this collection which I didn't know before. This has advantages and disadvantages, it doesn't give you anything new and exciting to listen to, but it does let you sing along to it. Big bands, big singing and fun.

Trivia
From Wikipedia:
Fever" published in 1956 and originally recorded by Little Willie John, as a double sided hit, along with the number ten, R&B single, "Letter From My Darling". Little Willie John's version of "Fever" was a number one hit, for three weeks, on the R&B Best Sellers chart, which also made the popular charts as an early Rock'n'Roll song peaking at number twenty-four. In 1958, Peggy Lee's cover version was even more popular, peaking at number eight on the US pop charts. The song became a signature song for Peggy Lee.
