1. Do-Re-Mi

Ted Heath And His Music

Not the early Ted Heath recordings BUT nevertheless a great driving big band plus emphasis on the Percussion side of the band...and of course Phase 4 Stereo !!
The majority of the Phase 4 Stereo Series seem to concentrate more on the Stereo aspect.. that is placing the instruments either left right or middle and even moving them around....Even so on this recording you can still hear and feel the Ted Heath influence and drive !!
Hence the name "Phase 4 Stereo" !!!
