From the inside cover: Ed Sauter and Bill Finegan are men of great musical vision, men whose ideas, again musically speaking, were actually a decade ahead of most arrangers and conductors. It was in the early Fifties that these two great arrangers joined forces to start their own orchestra, and to express their ultra-modern, almost fantastic ideas of instrumentations and presentation. Critical controversy surrounded their early efforts, with great acclaim for their daring expressions coming from within the profession almost without exception. With the birth of the Sound Era in the Sixties, Sauter and Finegan found an entire musical world at last catching up with their early ideas. And, through Ultra Audio, they were able to bring their own blending of instrumental sounds, their own inventiveness to an entirely new, and greatly receptive audience. Thus, the Doodletown Fifers return, almost a full decade after their musical birth, in modern garb, with Ed Sauter and Bill Finegan marching proudly in the fore – their musical banners once more flying high in the magical world of recorded musical sound.
