From the back cover: The Hollywood Studio Sound

In the years since Miller broke up his band in 1942 to go into the Service, recorded sound has made some of its greatest advances and each passing year produces further refinements in the recording art. Today, recordings made in the 'Forties are apt to sound lack-lustre, so accustomed have our ears become to the wide-ranging fidelity of today's sound. But back then when the recording of phonograph disks was still – by today's standards – relatively primitive, the sound engineers of Hollywood were already far ahead of their colleagues in the phonograph studios. They were reproducing music on tape for film sound-tracks with a life-like faithfulness that could rarely be matched on a record.

In Orchestra Wives and Sun Valley Serenade, Glenn Miller's band received the benefits of this advanced recording. And now, in this album, you too share in its benefits for it enables you to hear the greatest popular band America has ever produced in the highest quality recordings it ever made.

From Billboard - November 24, 1958: This is likely to become a collector's item. It's a de luxe packaging job containing the original film sound tracks from the films "Orchestra Wives" and "Sun Valley Serenade" – the only two full length films in which the band was featured. Included are "In The Mood," "Bugle Call Rag," "I've Got A Gal In Kalamazoo," etc., plus some new performances which were edited out of the original films. There are also the voices of Ray Eberle, Marion Hutton, etc., and performances by the Miller Six. Inner fold of the two record set cover includes a terrific display piece – a photo of the Miller band, with names under each man.
