The Exotic Sounds of Arthur Lyman - Taboo Vol. 2

Jungle Fantasy
The Exotic Sounds Of Arthur Lyman
Taboo Vol. 2
HIFIRECORD Album R822
1959

From the back cover: Here again Arthur Lyman does what nobody else can do. Rockets and Missles couldn't do it. Even Luniks and Sputniks have already been outspeeded by Arthur Lyman!

How come?

Well, lovers, our furthest-traveling missile is only good for 7,500 miles... and it take hours to get there...

Taboo Tu is a joint effort of Arthur Lyman and Allen Soars. Taboo Tu is proof that emergencies sometimes produce phenomenal results. While cutting this album, Arthur suddenly discovered he was one song short! He had just two hours in which to come up with an acceptable tune! Arthur and Allen proceeded to prove that two heads are better than one. (Aren't you sorry, you one-headed people?) Anyway, Taboo Tu was written, arranged, rehearsed and recorded in just two hours!

The Luniks and Sputniks took days to accomplish their mission. But for those of you who like to travel to the faraway, mystery-scented, exciting corners of the world (and would doesn't?), ATA Lyman makes this possible by placing you there within easy reach of your record-player. This album is Arthur Lyman's new, "Play as you GO" plan. Yes, enclosed in this jacket is a new World's Record... ant it's Arthur Lyman's latest effort in breaking the "speed of exotic-sound" barriers
