Web archiving of outre music is an interesting phenomenon. It fulfils
the desires of the elite who want to use the web for something other
than personal communiction, news and porn. Modern music can be had
locally and purchased on the web. But an LP like this, even if you got
it on an EBay auction or a yardsale for 50¢, would need an archaic
turntable (ok, not for many of us are LP's and turntables archaic) but
now, this whole deal is history. So modern digital technology steps
in, to bring it onto your computer.

I actually had this LP in my livingroom music collection, and played
it as loud as I could get away with with my Mom in the kitchen... I
really blasted it when they were away. I played drums in the High
School band, so percussion, stereo, etc was A BLAST. After Sandy
Nelson and Cosy Cole, but Pre-Beatles I listened to this stuff, and
luckily, a black friend in High School was my jazz mentor, and grew me
on Blakey, Jo Jones and Max Roach. Also Bossa Nova hit me as much as
the Dave Clark Five's pounding beats.
It's classic STEREO separation concept stuff... here's an excerpt that
nails it, as noted at the bottom of the web page...
Schory's albums for RCA offer choice samples of this music, sometimes
simply enhancing standard studio band arrangements with percussion
accents, but often rebuilding the whole piece around the percussion
ensemble. Critic R. D. Darnell of High Fidelity magazine was one of
Schory's strongest supporters, writing of the album, Wild Percussion
and Horns A'Plenty,
At first glance, Schory's program conforms more closely to current
trends (which he pioneered long before the now-dominant "Persuasive"
and "Provocative" [see Enoch Light--ed.] series) but he consistently
transcends these in musical taste, verve, unfailing wit, and superb
sense of dramatic stereogenics.
Stereogenics?
Yo, it's what's happenin'
Digitalgenics. The sound of Ursula 1000?
Thanks for tuning in.
Enjoy.
