This is a collection of Kelly tracks, that I think for the most part, may be from this Essex 10 inch disc, I Love. Essex was owned by Somerset's David Miller. Check out the track Crosswinds and the terrific cheesecake cover. Kelly went to work for Miller as a staff arranger.

Get Smart

Fun budget spy-surf. The sample, Get-Smart, winds up into a richly layered "psych" track. Other tracks feature a more toe-tapping untamed simplicity.

From the back cover: The Clee-Shays use Fender Guitars & Amplifiers exclusively.

Pleasant orchestrated light approach that features mild period pop overtones. The back cover advertises "Percy Faith, His Orchestra and Chorus. I hear no "chorus/vocals" on any of the tracks.

Midnight Moods - Norman Roye

The Breeze And I

Norman Roye At The Wurlitzer Electronic Organ
Plays Midnight Moods
Design Records
DLP & SDLP 70

From the back cover: Norman Roye, a naturalized American was born in Toronto, Canada on July 7th, 1927. Written in numerals that's 7/7/27. Norman says "Anyone with that many sevens in their birthdays would be a fool not to believe in numerology"... He first came to New York as accompanist for one of Canada's finest young musical comedy artists, Miss Wendy Martin. Wendy was giving through to entering the night club field and Norman felt that she had such an excellent chance of becoming one of the brighter lights in the nightclub field that he left his job at the fashionable "Gaiete" where he not only played piano and conducted, but stage the rather extensive stage presentations and followed Miss Martin into the States. Mr. Roye here shows his versatility by offering a group of melodies in a Midnight Mood... Soft, seductive music, coaxed from the electronic Wurlitzer by this magician of the organ keyboard. – Abbot Lutz
