Comments

Equivalent release: Mercury SR-60009 (stereo).

with late 1960s' inner sleeve of Mercury/Smash Country releases (maybe a previous owner of this record mistakenly included the sleeve: the inner sleeve has an cut-out hole on it, while the jacket cover don't).

Inside The Groove

Very wild orchestra with horns, featuring a famous dance tune “Night Train”.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)
