'Sonny Rollins Vol 1' (Music Matters 2x45rpm, mono)

[jeffcrom]

Band Concert* by American Symphonic Band of the Air conducted by William Revelli (Decca). A mid-fifties recording of impeccably played band music conducted by one of the great bandmasters of the mid 20th century. I almost put this in the classical thread, but about half the program consists of marches or what would be called "light music" in Britain. There's a great performance of a band transcription of the "Overture to Beatrice and Benedict" by Berlioz. And "Nobles of the Mystic Shrine" is one of Sousa's more interesting marches.

*Did someone at Decca really get paid for coming up with this title?

Later: A quick Google search revealed that Francisco Cavez's "Tamboo" from this album was released as a single and seems to have something of a reputation among "Exotica" collectors.

That's right up my alley!

NP: Sinatra - Only the Lonely - Capitol (UK mono rainbow).

The real mono recording, not a fold-down, as was sometimes the case in the UK with US albums.

Sounds so much better in mono, an upgrade from my previous copy.
