Decca/Phase 4 Stereo

1962
Stanley Black spent his last working years as a conductor, leading the BBC's Northern Ireland Orchestra in the late 1960s, and appearing frequently at "Pops" concerts. He was an enthusiastic proponent of popularizing music, commenting once that "Serious music shouldn't be pompous. 'West Side Story' should be in the same program as Beethoven." Although most of his own albums feature popular music, his one Grammaphone Award came in 1965 for his recording of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol.
Black was highly respected by his fellow musicians for his expertise and efficient working habits, even when deafness set in in his late 60s. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1985. He was also a Life Fellow of the Institute of Arts and Letters, and Life President of the Celebrities Guild of Great Britain. Stanley Black died 26 November 2002, in London, England
Exotic Percussion is the album Space Age Pop fans are recommended to seek out. It's an expertly produced recording, typical of London's Phase Four period, featuring an excellent selection of such space age pop standards as "Miserlou" and "Caravan" in loud, brassy, percussion-stuffed arrangements.Source: Space Age Pop

This is not LP's rip as we had some trouble with the computer last week! This offering was donated by a faithful visitor and good friend, Drocer Lyniv, to the Pizza Shoppe. This is the first time it has happened but if any of you Licorice Pizza patrons have something special you wish to share here by all means drop me a note at the email in the About tab.
Thanks for hanging in there during the technical difficulties. I have included the scans to the London Mono version you were going to get but Drocer provided us with the Decca Stereo version and it sounds great. Enjoy

Loved it, especially Misirlou and Caravan! I have to get up to my local used record shop - when I was last there in July, I left behind a stack of Phase 4 records in favor of the 15 or so Command LPs they had.

And I did make it up to my local used record shop today - and picked up my very own copy of this LP which I will convert to CD and then rip to 320k MP3.
