From Billboard - March 26, 1966: Some smooth instrumentals of tunes not only written by the Beatles, but turned into vocal hits by the group. The other albums by the Hollyridge Strings of Beatles' material have been tremendous sellers and this one will be right in the same groove.

Helen O'Connell
Arranged and Conducted by Marion Evans
RCA Camden
CAL 706
1962
From Billboard - March 19, 1962: Here's a bargain for Helen O'Connell fans – of whom there are still many. The lass sings a flock of standards here – none of them the tunes she made famous with Jimmy Dorsey, but good to listen to nonetheless. They include "Who Cares," "Blue and Broken Hearted," "Miss You" and "I Cried For You." Marion Evans did the swinging arrangements, and the band plays them with zest. Good listening.

1958
From the back cover: These are the players: Chubby Jackson, bass; Billy Bauer, guitar; Don Lamond, drums; Nat Pierce, piano; reeds – Sam Marowitz, Al Cohn, Sam Donahue, Paul Quinichette, Danny Bank; trombones – Bob Brookmeyer, Frank Rehab, Billy Byers, trumpets – Ernie Royal, Bernie Glow, Al Stewart, Nick Travis and Irving Markowitz. Burt Collins and Bernie Privin replaced Glow and Travis on some numbers. Nat Piece was the invaluable music co-ordinator, finding original arrangements, filling in missing parts, and otherwise building bridges. He was assisted by Fed Carlin,. Basically, the arrangements are as they were then – a tribute, by the way, to the durable freshness of much of the writing for that First Herd.
From Billboard - December 1, 1958: Very often the "class reunion" kind of recording session doesn't come off; this one is a notable exception. Aided by most of the key men in the famed "First Herd," maestro Herman has himself a real ball with oldies like "Caldonia" and "I Cover The Water Front," and the effect of the big driving band in stereo is a real stopper. Should delight all of Woody's regular aficionados, and create a lot of new ones.

Patti Page
Mercury Records MG-20102 (2 back jacket variations)
1957
From the back cover: Any album that contains Patti Page's "Tennessee Waltz" is a treasure in itself. For here, in its original simplicity and warmth, is one of the great recordings of all time whose impact in still felt not only by Patti Page herself but in far corners of the earth by people as alien to Tennessee as Maori Tribesmens. That the song launched Patti on her brilliant career is known to everyone. What is perhaps not too well known is that the song was the subject of a violent debate in Tennessee's legislature when a resolution to name it the State official song was narrowly defeated; that it was responsible for the near-lynching of a popular Memphis columnist who expressed resentment against having to listen to the song continuously; that it was an instrumental of propaganda at the hands of the Chinese Reds who, giving up their efforts to prevent its being smuggled into the country and sold on the black market at fabulous prices, used it as evidence of the insecurity of American women who are liable to lose their men at the drop of a waltz beat. Thus a song, already six years old at the time it was recorded by Patti in 1951 and hurriedly put on the reverse side of a tune meant directly for the Christmas trade, grew to have international implications!
