From the back cover: Howard Lanin has ventured successfully into other areas of the entertainment world, (last year he sponsored the national tour of the Royal Danish Ballet; prior to that he produced a Gershwin Festival concert attraction that played two hundred cities in the United States; he has also developed an organization that builds shows for some of the largest industrial companies in the country), but leading an orchestra is his first love and he is still providing dance music for the kind of parties that marked the earlier era.

For several years Howard Lanin has been supplying the nation's newspapers with feature called "Society Hit Parade" – an annual listing of the social set's favorite dance tunes. – Elliott Grenard


From Billboard - October 28, 1957: Society band delivers another of those multi-tune programs, including show tunes, standards, brisk waltzes and a mambo. The tempos are uniformly fast. Recording were made at a dance, and the audience can be felt in atmospheric recording. Good dance package, especially for more mature gatherings.
