The Mystic Moods Orchestra

Philips PHS 600-301
1969
This was the 17th "Moods" release. The April 19, 1969 Billboard "spotlighted" the album saying: Their (Moods) revolutionary sound in music will again prove to be another sales giant.
Mystic Moods sets blend natural sound effects, easy listening, 60 pop and quirky arrangements. The albums are like concept projects even though popular tunes are covered. On this album your will find a beautiful cover of The Beatles Norwegian Wood. And there is also a cover of Mac Arthur Park on the B side that is totally outrageous!

From Billboard - November 17, 1962: Bright and tightly swinging performances of a flock of tunes in bossa nova rhythm including the current hit "Desafinado," by the big-sounding Zentner crew. Also included are "Caravan," "Midnight Sun," "Maria" and "Star Eyes." Could move to bossa nova fans.

Sears Golden Strings
Be My Love & Other Love Songs
SP-212
This is the second Sears produced LP I've found. My first find (Golden Voices In Hollywood) was a bit of a treasure because Sears tried to cover pop songs with studio vocalists. That release was a campy 60s disaster. Sears, however, left the vocals off this release and gifted us with a straight forward and smooth mood set.

Edmundo Ros And His Orchestra
London Phase 4 Stereo SP 44080
1966
Here is an album sporting a great cover and excellent Phase 4 Stereo engineering. Musically it a quirky mix of light pop songs, including covers of Get Me To The Church On Time and Hello Dolly.
