Well
here's a strange one !!..Its a double L/P full of percussion Latin Tunes
so if anyone likes "percussion" then give this one your ear !! The
strange thing about it is that on Disc 1 is Side A & D and on Disc 2
is Side B & C....Would have thought that Disc 1 should be A & B
and Disc 2 should be C & D...Maybe the producers were at a party
dancing to it and were worse for wear !!
But apart from that it is very good Stereo and a good easy listening not forgetting dancing around the room to it !!
P.S. Here is a comment that clears the confusion of the above !!!
The
discs are configured the way they are so that you can put the two discs
on a record changer at the same time and play first side A and then side
B in order and then after they have played you can remove the discs
from the spindle, turn them over and play side C and then side D.
Otherwise, you would have to play the sides one at a time with a time
delay while you flipped the discs after each playing.

We seem to be over the channel and you will either like this
one or hate it !!..good two choices !!...the arrangements are good but I
think I would have liked to hear him actually sing !!..but I suppose
the point of the L/P is...Quote !!..."The Erotic Voice"....never heard
of him but I believe he is an Ex DJ from the Netherlands.... OOOPs !! I have been corrected !! he's from Genk in Belgium !!.....been DJaying
for at least 50 years and now I believe he's hanging up his turntables
!!.....It does go on a bit but the novelty is there !!.....Thanks Bob !

is still as good today as she was when she recorded this...Yes her voice
has changed but the experience and talent shines through !!!

24 tracks from the late "French Rocker !...some of the tracks will be instantly recognisable... I should think that this is a cross section of his work..so if you like the Rocker element in your music give this a whirl !!
The very distinctive voice of Blossom Dearie giving her versions of
some fine standard songs and she does a great job with them...Her voice
is one that you either love or hate !!...Just like the old saying about
"Marmite" !!!
2. Surrey With The Fringe On Top
The original Ted Heath Band of the 50's & 60's....six tracks of his popular songs AND ....
The London Suite was written by Thomas "Fats" Waller during his 1939 European tour. It is his musical interpretation of six London districts and the suite was arranged for and recorded by the Ted Heath band in 1947, then re-recorded in 1953/4. Piccadilly is scored as an up-tempo yet light and bouncy swing chart that reflects the urban sophistication and wealth of the area. There are solos for Alto 1, Tenor and Guitar (or Piano), some lovely sectional interplays, powerful ensemble passages and a couple of sweet sax solo passages too.
Some Great Big Band sounds....concert style !!!
