Oscar Brand has devoted entire albums to such subjects as drinking, presidential campaigns, sports cars, cats, dogs, boating and, of course, bawdy songs. But of all his albums, these four, recorded for each branch of the armed services, were among his most popular, and truly their commercial success helped Elektra gain financial footing back in the early days of the label. Indeed, they were especially well-received by our troops, who no doubt appreciated the, er, "salty" tang of Oscar's renditions. We "enlisted" Oscar's aid for the notes, tooa one-of-a-kind 'Collectors' Choice Music' exclusive!
