Not necessarily one to rush to buy but not bad.

Probably a more adventurous song material would have helped ....

Enoch Light And The Light Brigade – I Want To Be Happy Cha Cha's

I am currently streaming this one on YT, more out of morbid curiosity than anything (although it is certainly not a bad record, by Command's standards. It is fun).

The comments are really interesting. For some reason, in contrast to 90% of 50s/60s Latin records, it has lots of comments. Hundreds of people from around the world reminiscing about what a wonderful record it was. There are people from Hong Hong, the Philippines and Central Africa, but most of all there are people from Latin America?! So many comments in Spanish about how this was the poster's favourite record growing up. It is the last thing I would have expected from such an inauthentic piece of fluff.

Edit: It is not actually on Command, it turns out. It is on Grand Award.

I acquired this music when it was first released in the 50's. It was among my first West Coast Jazz recordings. The arrangements and solos are terrific.

OK, thanks. I have a shed load of David Murray so pleased this isn't deemed essential

Very much a Spotify pressing. 

It is fantastic. I can only imagine how it must have been to be the first hip hop DJ to get his/her hands on it. Like finding the ark of the covenant.
