French Pastry - Eddie Barclay

The Touch
French Pastry
Eddie Barclay And His Orchestra
Mercury Records MG 20265
1957

From Billboard - October 28, 1957: Cover depicting French maid carrying a tray of tasty treats all good enough to eat, hold forth promise. Inside, Barclay's ork lives up to the billing in a series of light mood tunes, mostly with a gentle, but noticeable enough, beat for dancing as well as listening. Sound is particularly good.

Richard Hayman on the harmonica?

  1. I always wondered the year this album was made. The back of the cover album is used and faded and can't make out many of the printed writing. humm, 1957. The maid was perhaps 25 years of age. Today is 2019, so 62 years ago plus 25 = 87 the woman?
