"A Swingin' Safari" (Vinyl)
At the dawn of rock 'n roll most parental figures weren't running out to get their hands on Elvis' latest. What was spinning on the hi-fi was in the ilk of Jackie Gleason and Billy Vaughn.
Lush orchestral strings accompanied by a light peppering of exotic percussion and a lazy saxophone section was all you needed to have a swingin' cocktail hour.
The jacket for this London/Dot pressing is one of the flimsiest I've ever seen. The record is a wonderful heavy beast; I don't understand why the jacket is so cheap.
