From Billboard - February 8, 1958 (story, including mention of this release): Capitol Record's lasts release of stereo LP's should fine a hearty reception from stereophiles. Included in the 16-LP release are stereophonic versions of sets that have in the most cases proven big monaural sellers.
Headlining the pop releases is "Oklahoma!" In stereo the album is even more charming, and this release should create new interest in the set, which has long been a best-seller. Another strong pop album in the group is "Jackie Gleason Presents Velvet Brass," which lends itself very well to stereo, because of the many contrasting ork effects. "Young Ideas" by Ray Anthony and "The New James" by Harry James achieve dimension in stereo. Norrie Paramor's "Jet Flight," "Most Happy Hammond" by organist Jackie Davis and "Concerto!" by Freddie Martin complete the pop releases.
Both of the jazz albums, "Jumpin' With Jonah" by the Jonah Jones Quartet and "Rendezvous With Kenton" by the Stan Kenton crew should move well, tho the big band jazz is much more suited to stereo.
Three albums by the popular Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orch. are featured in the classical releases. "Music For Strings" by Stokowski and "The Orchestra Sings" by the Capitol Symphony Orch., conducted by Carmen Dragon, are especially good in stereo. "Virtuoso!" by the Roger Wagner Chorale is a fine example of vocal stereo. A volume of piano concertos by Leonard Pennario should be a big a seller in stereo as it was monaurally.
In general the stereo versions of the releases are effective and well-recorded. Covers are the same in their original release.
