This compilation album was released in 1945 by RCA Victor, shortly after Glenn Miller's disappearance in December 1944. It includes orchestral arrangements recorded between 1939 and 1942, during the peak of Miller's big band.
The original recordings were made at RCA Victor's studios in New York. The album highlights the precision and characteristic sound of the orchestra, with arrangements by Bill Finegan, Jerry Gray, and Miller himself.
Although not a massive commercial success at the time, the record helped keep Miller's legacy alive after his death. It is valued by collectors for including alternate versions of classics like 'Moonlight Serenade' and 'In the Mood'.
