Up Swing

Up Swing is a compilation album of phonograph records released by bandleaders Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and Artie Shaw in 1944 as a part of the Victor Musical Smart Set series.

The set, a progenitor to greatest hits releases, features some of the most popular Dance Band Era recordings by the four bandleaders.

A February 1944 issue of Billboard Magazine highlighted Miller's disc specifically: "Re-issue of this swell tune is one of eight sides comprising Victor's new album, "Up Swing."

"[2] However, Swing Magazine's Bob Kennedy preferred Shaw's disk and declared the album "an absolute must for collectors.

"[3] These reissued songs were featured on a 4-disc, 78 rpm album set, Victor P-146.
