Los Cinco Latinos

Columbia DCA-89

1959

I wasn't able to find English language information online for Los Cinco Latinos.

They appear to be a pop group from Argentina who formed in 1957 and continued to entertain fans for at least the next several decades.  Their wiki page discography indicates this LP was their third release.

I couldn't find an example of this cover online. The album has a nice cross-over vibe from 50s doo-wop to 60s light pop.

Route 66 Theme And Other Great TV Themes - Nelson Riddle

Route 66 Theme And Other Great TV Themes
Arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle
Capitol ST 1771
1962

Available on a combo CD with Riddle's follow-up album titled More Hit TV Themes so I will not be posting a sample.

Riddle arrangements of period TV themes are unexpectedly cool. The album holds up well against other space age efforts and the music still seems fresh today. The engineering is excellent.

Nice bad habits cover to add to my collection. Apparently the Dude is the only person on this date that is going to get loaded.

This is a promotional album for Whyte & Macay's. I do not know how the album was distributed.

Speaking of smoking and drinking... there is a smoking cover of Caravan by Bobby Brookmeyer to enjoy on the album along with a wonderful smoky vocal on I've Got The World By A String by Anita O'Day.

How To Belly Dance For Your Sultan

ELAY Records 2789

I think this LP may be a follow-up to Ozel Turkbas's album titled How To Make Your Husband A Sultan. The album sparked a resurgence for belly dance in the early 1970s and sold 150,000 copies in the U.S. An "instruction" booklet that was apparently included with both albums.

Sing Along With The Busy Beavers

Once upon a time, boys and girls, an adult developed a recording technique that made real voices sound incredibly annoying. However, it was soon discovered that the youth market LOVED this contrivance. The children demanded more... much more!

In a jiffy other adults trampled on the original creator's rights to make sure the children were happy and well supplied with similar annoyances featuring a wide variety of cartoon characters.

And so ends our story of thinly veiled but yet shameless theft of intellectual property.

Almost no one lives happily ever after.

Thee end.

From Billboard - February 9, 1957: The newest LeGrand set calls for special attention. It has all the earmarks-sensuous, tricky arrangements, unusual switches in lead instruments and over-all sound-quality – to send it off counter-wise with a bang. The 14 selections include some standards "Poor People Of Paris," "Two Loves Have I," "My Man," etc., but all are projected to live up to the theme – the essence of Paris. There's great deejay material here, too, and it shouldn't be missed.
