Comments

Equivalent release: Mercury MG-50203 (mono).

FR pressing: this early pressing with FR2/FR3 stampers sounds nice.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

All four tracks are very famous popular titles. Paul Paray and DSO plays so refreshing performances of these tunes. A-1 is a too famous track everybody knows. A-2 is very interesting track with cute melodies, which I like much.

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

7 out of 10
