A Taste Of Honey - Living Brass

The 3rd Man Theme
A Taste Of Honey And Other Favorites
Living Brass
The Swinging Sound Of Mexican Brass
Arranged and Conducted by Ray Martin
Produced by Ethel Gabriel
Recorded in RCA Victor's Studio A, New York City
Recording Engineer: Bob Simpson
Notes by Sheldon Toomer
RCA Camden CAS-949
1966

The cover scan appears dark due to RCA's choice of reflective foil paper stock on which they overprinted the 4-color art (the scanner can't read foil correctly). A print job like this would have been an expensive project for the company's "budget" label.

  2. Thanks Adam. In this case and other posts, the sample is to be found under the image of the album cover. I very infrequently post entire albums. My intentions are to introduce folks to an album they may enjoy, with an easy to play sample, rather than to document. Due to time and server constraints I have to leave documentation up to folks with more resources.
