The original stories by P.G. Wodehouse are delightfully amusing and worthy of out loud chuckling at times. The films series Jeeves and Wooster are as close as one could come to the dry wit of uber intelligent Jeeves, as he contends with his witless (and certainly not dry) employer, Bertie Wooster. Their shenanigans usually revolve around various comedies of errors set in that mystical feudal society of 1930s Britain. This collection of music and a bit of dialogue from the series is just as delightful, embodying the bouncy, whimsical style of light music from the 1920s and 30s. Recommended.

R. Yungul, Amazon.com

I've lost count of the number of people I've been in conversation with who, it turns out, share my love of this TV series. Of those, a very high number are amazed (even disbelieving) that the theme tune and associated music weren't original pieces from the 1920s/1930s period but written for the series by the fabulously talented Anne Dudley.

The tracks here are studio recordings made for the series, so are exactly as you hear on the original programmes. A 19-piece orchestra takes care of the notes, with a barbershop-style trio on backing vocals and Hugh Laurie himself doing the lead vocals. The tracks fall into three categories:

1) The 'soundtrack' tracks: the theme tune (which is actually the version used for the end credits rather than the shorter and possibly sweeter opening credits version) and five variations Anne Dudley wrote as background music for scenes like, for example, when Bertie is driving in his car down country lanes, plus The Amateur Dictator march written for the fabulously preposterous Spode and his Oswald Mosley-esque followers. The 'Weekend in the Country' variation on the main theme is especially delightful, being an affectionate pastiche of the English pastoral style (like Vaughan Williams' Tallis Fantasia, for example).

2) Six popular songs from the period, and arranged specially with Hugh Laurie on vocal duties. Some of the arrangements are quite unusual, but all sound convincingly 'of the period'.

3) Four spoken tracks with Fry and Laurie doing their Jeeves and Wooster schtick to perfection. Two of these are standalone tracks, written as if Jeeves and Wooster have turned up at the studios as the disc is being recorded. The other two are introductions to two of the songs (Nagasaki and Minnie the Moocher) - these are variations on scenes in the TV series. All the scripting is by Clive Exton who scripted the TV series, so there's nothing which falls flat.

If you've read this far, I'll assume you've watched the TV series at least a couple of times, so you know exactly what you'll be getting musically. The only tragedy about this CD is that it seems to have been deleted as soon as it was released. I saw it in 1992 in Our Price (remember them?) in Manchester and bought it without any inkling that I was going to end up owning one of the few copies around. It's worth shelling out more than you normallly would for a CD - whether it's worth the prices you're seeing on this screen is, of course, your call. I've never regretted buying mine, but then I only paid £13 for it!

For many a year I have been looking for this soundtrack! Anyone who has watched the show will undoubtedly remember the wonderful music. Sadly this marvelous soundtrack was only in print for a very short time in the UK in the early 90s and has since become exceedingly difficult, if not outright impossible, to find. Thanks to Amazon we can finally get it. In addition to the wonderful and witty singing by Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, the instrumental bits are wonderful. For anyone who likes the show or has an interest in music from the 1920s, I would highly recommend it.
