From the back cover: The nostalgic, lonely quality of this album's music is derived from a novel instrumental concept. For here Jackie Gleason has assembled an exotic string combination: mandolins, 'cellos, and dorms (richer, deeper mandolins), augmented by guitars and marimba. The featured solo instrument throughout is the rare oboe d'amour, whose melancholy tone is hauntingly displayed in each of these favorite selections.

  1. Mark, is yours the 10" LP? I'm not sure if it was released any other way but since you didn't mention it, I wondered.
