The High And The Mighty
Werner Muller and His Orchestra
Phase 4 Stereo
London SP 44008
1961
From Billboard - December 4, 1961: The most interesting new developments in the album market last week were the growing strength of Lonon's "Phase 4" stereo packages and the phenomenal impact of the current Twist fad on Chubby Checker's Parkway LP sales.
Three more London's "Phase 4" LP's broke into BMW's best selling stereo album chart this week – "The Percussion Twenties" by Eric Rogers ork (No. 38); "Bongos From The South" by Edmundo Ros (No.49) and Percussion Around The World" (No. 50).
Thus 7 out of the label's 12 "Phase 4" albums are on the Top 50 Stereo chart and another Werner Muller's "Percussion In The Sky," is showing some regional movement, although not yet on the "New Action" list.
In addition to the packages listed above, the stereo chart this week features London's "Pass In Review" by Bob Sharples (No. 20); Ted Heath's "Big Band Percussion" (No. 39), and Ronnie Aldrich's "Melody And Percussion For Two Pianos," (No. 28). Also on the the chart, but not a "Phase 4" package, is London's "Music From Exodus and Other Great Themes" by Mantovani.
