Description
78 RPM ALBUM THREE RECORD SET. ROAD TO UTOPIA. DECCA A-423. BING CROSBY & BOB HOPE SING SONGS FROM THEIR MOTION PICTURE OF 1946. BING AND BOB SING, "ROAD TO UTOPIA" AND "ROAD TO MOROCCO" (THE SECOND SELECTION IS FROM THEIR MOVIE, "ROAD TO MOROCCO"). BING HAD RECORDED "ROAD TO MOROCCO" BACK IN 1942 AS A SOLO BUT THE RECORD BAN OF THE NEXT FEW YEARS PROHIBITED THE TWO FROM RECREATING THEIR FAMOUS MOVIE DEUT IN THE RECORDING STUDIO. WHEN THEY FINALLY GOT TOGETHER IN DECCA'S STUDIOS TO RECORD "ROAD TO UTOPIA," THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION TO DUET ON "ROAD TO MOROCCO." BING ALSO SINGS, "WELCOME TO MY DREAM," "IT'S ANYBODY'S SPRING," AND "WOULD YOU." THE FINAL SELECTION BRINGS BING BACK TO NEW YORK CITY TO RECORD WITH HIS OLD PAL EDDIE CONDON ON, "PERSONALITY." THE ALL STAR BAND INCLUDES JOE BUSHKIN ON PIANO, WILD BILL DAVISON ON TRUMPET AND BUD FREEMAN ON TENOR SAX.
