Command Performances Vol. 2 - Enoch Light And The Light Brigade

Downtown
Command Performances Vol. 2
Enoch Light And The Light Brigade
Command Records RS 915 SD
1967

This record starts off a little slow, with the cover graphic. I'm not sure if Command was attempting to introduce a new "brand" or "logo" with this second "Performances" title. Anyway, the cover graphic seems out-of-place when you compare it to other period Command covers and it doesn't help sell the record.

The first track, side one, is also conservative but the "sound" loosens up with track two and plays out more like a Light goofy 60s ping-pong recording should. There are one or two tracks that seem out of place, but for the most part this is another fun LP from the fabulous Command label including the great cover of Downtown.
