The Essential Collection

• Track Listing

(2-CD Set) Following the runaway success the Ballroom Dancing Essential Collection CD (WEN 896), we are pleased to present an entire double CD devoted to the greatest British band leader of the 20th century - Joshua Alexander Loss, better known as just plain Joe Loss! We begin our story way back in 1933 with a side from his very first recording session titled Happy Endings which includes Joe's first signature tune Let's Dance At The Make Believe Ballroom. Here we feature Joe performing with top vocalists of the day Monte Ray and Chick Henderson as well as his fine instrumental work like Woodchoppers Ball, Oasis and Southern Fried. Joe became synonymous with strict tempo dance records and CD2 is rightly made up of these sides recorded between 1949 and 1956.
