They say the 1950's were safe, conservative, a very white bread & mayonaise time but these records - and Exotica in general - say to me that it wasn't all that quiet back then. But wha-da-i-know?
Another martini please,

I ripped one David Carroll LP from vinyl myself but this one is much better. Thanks.

This is one of my favorite albums of all time! I recently had to get rid of most of my vinyl, but this one I had to keep! I 've listened to it since I was about 6 years old. Mine has a slightly different cover and my side B starts with The Cricket. Also Discussion in Percussion is broken down into 3 Parts: I. Quiet Talk; II. Chatter; III. Controversy. My favorites are Hell's Bells, The Cricket, and The Chimes of Swing, but the more experimental tracks totally blew me away at 6...and sometimes they still do! ;-)

The mono version of this LP is not just a different mix -- it's actually different takes of each track! I am VERY familiar with the version of "Chimes Of Swing" on the mono LP (for reasons which I won't go into here) and was blown out of my chair to hear a completely different solo and end tag on your needle-drop of the stereo LP.
