From the back cover: During recent years, the popular music scene has undergone many notable changes. Not the least of these is the emergence of first Hollywood, then television themes, as a source of songs that have become standard fare, joining, of course, that long-flowing gusher of evergreens from the Broadway stage. And during this period, one of the world's foremost entrepreneurs of this kind of an instrumental menu has been AL CAIOLA, guitarist supreme, instrumentalist par excellence, and imaginative arranger.

Some two decades ago, Al merely accompanied the vocal greats at their hit platter sessions, and then a little more than a half-decade ago, exploded into the national spotlight with a string of best-selling singles and albums and has not stopped turning out successful discs ever since. Al is a dedicated musician. He lives, breathes and thinks music. His trademark is superb taste – whether it be in his choice of instrumentation, his arrangements, or his selection of a program. All these facets and many more are so very much in evidence in this, his latest collection for United Artists Records.

Caiola has carefully plucked the choice plums of recent vintage from those three areas mentioned in the initial paragraph, and' video, the silver screen and the proscenium arch have never been more liltingly saluted. These are the tunes that are assured of long life, and just about every one, in addition to standing up on its own two feet as a brilliant melodic entity, is certain to recall to many some memorable theatrical moments. "RETURN OF THE SEVEN" is the sequel to the AL CAIOLA hit, "The Magnificent Seven", and succinctly tells the story of the entire album. In other words, here are the newer melodies that have scored, and will be around for moons and moons and moons. They are beautifully and magnificently presented to you by the great AL CAIOLA and a full crew of truly gifted musicians. It is safe to say that listeners will return again and again to "RETURN OF THE SEVEN".
