Notes: Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band: Cory Daye (vocals); Stoney Browder, Jr. (guitar, piano); "Sugar Coated" Andy Hernandez (vibraphone); August Darnell (bass); Mickey Sevilla (drums); Dan Armando Bonillo (percussion). Producers: Sandy Linzer (tracks 1, 3-4, 6, 9, 11-12); Stony Browder, Jr. (tracks 2, 5, 7-8, 10, 13-15). Compilation producer: Basil Marshall. Includes liner notes by Jacqueline Rhinehart. All tracks have been digitally remastered. The Very Best of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band compiles the highlights from the group's first two albums, which featured the kitschy, big band-influenced disco group at the height of their powers. All of the group's hits -- "I'll Play the Fool," "Whispering/Cherchez La Femme/Se Si Bon," "Sour and Sweet/Lemon in the Honey" -- are included on the collection, as well as a number of first-rate album tracks, making it not only the perfect place to start, but also the only Dr. Buzzard album any fan needs to own. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Spin (p.112) - "[They] wrapped knowing, catty sentiments in big-band arrangements and vocalist Cory Daye's butter-cream alto."
Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band was one of the most original musical ensembles of the disco era. The concept of the group was the re-creation of a '30s dance band, � la Cab Calloway, with witty lyrics and a disco beat. All of this was in evidence on their self-titled debut album, released in 1976. It produced the dancefloor hit "Cherchez la Femme" and went gold. A follow-up album, Meets King Pennett, was less successful. After the release of a third album, the group fragmented, with Darnell and Hernandez going off to form Kid Creole & the Coconuts. Browder reorganized and issued a Dr. Buzzard's Savannah Band (dropping the "original") album in 1984. ~ William Ruhlmann

I found the unit I was looking for online at J&R Music. Not only was their price lower, the offered free shipping. I got the delivery in half of the quoted time and it was packed carefully with no damage. Based on this, I will look here first the next time I need any equipment.
