Hits Of Today - 101 Strings

Hits Of Today
101 Strings
Alshire S-5112

All of these tracks are available from the usual online resources.

Nice compilation of the more "groovy" 101 Strings tracks including the heavy psych (and out of character for this 101 album) "Sock It My Way"(also titled Flameout from the 101 set, Astro-Sounds, From Beyond The Year 2000). The track, apparently, is a Jerry Cole recording with string touches added for the 101 version.

1968

1968 studio album that features almost as many arrangers as tracks. Despite the various talent working on the set, the LP plays through nicely for a mood/light pop studio project.

Vanguard Quadraphonic Demonstration Album - Leon Grand

Aquarius

Vanguard Quadraphonic Demonstration Album
The Leon Grand Orchestra
VSQ-4X
1970

Fun "Op/Mod" art cover and title track. Aquarius aside, the rest of the LP, while "pleasant-sounding" in terms of "mood music" seems dated for 1970 and does not support the groovin' cover art vibe.

From the back cover: The two sides of the V-shape (45/45) groove on this record can contain four channels, by employing different motions of the needle; two vectored for the two basic stereo modulations, and two double helical motions for the two rear channels. Any stereo cartridge is capable of reproducing all this information. When played through a 2-channel stereo system, the four signals are combined to yield conventional stereo with the full signal information, frequency response and dynamic range of the standard stereo recording.

Paint It Black - The Soulful Strings

Paint It Black

Eight Miles Hight

Paint It Black
The Soulful Strings
Cadet Records
Recorded: September, 1966, at Ter Mar Studios, Chicago
LPS-776

Terrific mid-60s downer abstract cover art and fun mid-60s pop mood from the "groove department".

From the back cover: For years it's been an axiom in music circles that "strings can't swing" and based on a lot of attempts that I (E. Rodney Jones - WVON Radio, Chicago) have heard to the Soulful Strings album, I was ready to agree with the statement. Now, thanks to the efforts of arranger-conductor Richard Evans, producer Esmond Edwards, and some of the finest musicians available in the city of Chicago, we have a swinging, cooking album that features strings to a large extent but doesn't (forgive this) play second fiddle to any record in the grooving' department.
