William Tell Overture     RCA #20-2861-A

  

Spike Jones and his City Slickers recorded this version of Gioachino Rossini’s “William Tell Overture” as a single in 1948.  It peaked at #6 on the charts.  This version reproduces the original with significant modification of style and replaces the conclusion with the imitated horse race calls of the famous announcer Clem McCarthy.
