From Billboard - April 20, 1968: London's Phase 4 Stereo Entering The Swing Phase

London Records' Phase 4 Stereo line is swinging to the swing era with a new series of albums. The project will be kicked off with an album by Harry James re-creating his big band classics like "Two O'Clock Jump," "Chiribiribim," "I Cried For You" and "I Had The Craziest Dream," among others. The James album was produced in Tutti Camarata's Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood.

Following the James project, Duke Ellington is set for sessions covering a selection of his top songs. The sessions are scheduled for the Sunset Sound Studios Monday through Wednesday (22-24).

Concept for the new series developed out of the favorable response accorded the recent Ted Heath Phase 4 LP, "Swing Is King," issued during the company's January national sales meeting, and incorporating such titles as "Woodchoppers' Ball," Opus 1," "In The Mood" and "One O'Clock Jump." Heath now has a second volume in the works.

London has planed a heavy point of sales merchandising campaign as well as a sustained promotional drive at the FM stereo radio audience.
