Liner Note Author: Colin Escott. Recording information: Manhattan Center, New York, NY (10/13/1945-02/14/1962); New York, NY (10/13/1945-02/14/1962); RCA Victor Studio A, New York, NY (10/13/1945-02/14/1962); Webster Hall, New York, NY (10/13/1945-02/14/1962). Illustrator: R.A. Andreas. Photographer: R.A. Andreas. Certainly not a collection of Perry Como's most famous hits (although "Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes," "Hot Diggity (Dog Ziggity Boom)," and "Magic Moments," and "Catch a Falling Star" are all found here), Juke Box Baby contains 30 tracks (including two versions, one mono and one stereo, of "Dancin'"), mainly from the 1950s, but also sneaking into the '60s and '40s, and even into 1988 ("Bella Bella Sue"). This is certainly not the album for someone wishing to start his Perry Como collection, but it's an OK choice for someone already familiar with him. ~ Marisa Brown
