Comments

MG-20296 (monaural release) has two more tunes from the same session.

with original Mercury inner sleeve.

One of the earliest pressings by RCA Victor's plant - sounds great!

Inside The Groove

A very enjoyable easy-listening kind of exotic sound. Well organized and full of excitements. Nice!
