Columbia CL 525 (reissue)
1953
Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample presented here to share the cover art and Billboard review.
From Billboard - October 17, 1953: The increasing accent on careful programming in pop albums which was noted in a Billboard story several weeks ago is apparent in four very listenable instrumental pop albums released this week. Two by Percy Faith on Columbia feature music (?) type – Percy Faith Plays Continental Music, a collection of pop tunes originating from across the seas, and Percy Faith Plays Romantic Music, a mixture of American waltzes and other tunes written in a romantic vein. Many of these are from past Broadway shows.
The Continental set is particularly appealing, since it packages recent entries on The Billboard best selling charts as well as standard and less well-known songs. Both albums effectively showcase the arranging talent of Faith which always keeps the melody dominant but adds a rich and resonant background.
Mademoiselle de Paris
Symphony
Vola, Colomba
In Love
Suddenly
Petite Bolero
La Ronde
Many Times
If You Said Goodbye
April In Portugal
Under The Bridges Of Paris
Sympatico
