From the back cover: The collector of this Scrapbook, Walter Schumann, has been diverting music fanciers with his choral organization, the Voices of Walter Schumann, since 1949. A couple of years ago, he and his "Voices" toured the country in a sparkling revue called "Three For Tonight." Another notable Schumann achievement: composition of the famed Dum Dee Dum Dum theme from Jack Webb's "Dragnet."

From Billboard - July 8, 1957: Here's a potpourri of types of material high-lighted in various past albums by the Schumann group, and it again emphasizes the unique versatility of the singers. Here are folk songs, operatic adaptations and songs of the heart, all done with equally handsome mixed choral effects. A welcome change from the all-too-familiar packages of one mood or one approach, which usually are lacking in pacing. Cover shot of old-fashioned scrapbook and paste pot is artful and displayable. A top-notch job that will get on-the-air action as well as counter demand.
