From Billboard - June 1, 1959: Owen Albums Pack Fine Mood Sound
RCA Victor has released five new sets by the popular British maestro, Reg Owen, three of which feature stereo counterparts. Basically, the approach is the same in each set with choirs of strings and brass weaving in and around the mostly familiar standard themes. In a set titled, "You Don't Know Paree," the framework is the same, with the added voice of a rippling solo piano on some of the tracks.
Owen recently enjoyed success in the States with a single, Manhattan Spiritual," and this may serve to bring these Owen albums to the attention of mood-minded jocks. All will serve as splendid mood and background music. On the other hand, the sets are well-packed, particularly, the one titled "Cuddle Up A Little Closer," which shows a mother bassett hound and her brood of pups doing just that.
Recordings are all of high quality and the stereo, where it's available, is good without being exaggerated.
