From Billboard - March 20, 1961 (review of "mono" issue WP 6130): Here's a study in percussive sound that is unfortunately available in only mono form, which will be something of a handicap in today's stereo conscious percussion market. Such instruments as xylophone, marimba, bells, celesta, chimes, guitars, cymbals, gourds, etc., are employed on such material as "Carioca," "Hawaiian War Chant," "Cherokee" and "Drums In The Night." Interestingly different cover employs merely a blob of black paint but it creates quite and effect. Part of a percussion series, this will have interest for those with monaural equipment only.
