The LP was recorded in 1966. The CD is a collection of the biggest hits of the day interpreted with a Latin-jazz flavor. The following was taken from the 1966 LP: "Whether you're a member of the dance set or just a good listener, whether you're a fan of rock and roll, jazz, or any other kind of popular music, whether you're a teenager or collegian, whether you're a white-collar worker or tradesman, whether you belong to the 'jet set' or to some other select crowd, you'll find a generous helping of all these sounds. This is music for everyone's taste, the kind of music to make you forget your troubles and be happy." All songs are in stereo and have been digitally restored and digitally mastered. This CD is is presented by John Madara for THAT PHILLY SOUND.
