Monsieur Maurice is in Command

Hi Folks,

The past few weeks I took the time to dive deep into my record collection. I traveled all the way to the very beginning and I rediscovered my 'Command' albums. I have a good few of them. They were my pride and joy when I first started crate diggin'. I loved the sleeve art, the 'extreme' stereo, and the fact that you could recognize the musicians throughout the different albums. The guitar of Tony Mottola,  Charles Mangnate on accordion or the trumpet of Doc Severinsen... I still keep a look out for them and buy them when I come across one that I haven't got. But they don't come across often (not on our side of the ocean they don't...)
So for the next period of time I'm going to concentrate on the Spectacular Stereo Sound of Space Age Music.
Here's the first offering of the 'MM is in Command' Series:

Tracklist

01 Provocative Percussion - Enoch Light And The Light Brigade
02 Cheek To Cheek - Don Lamond And His Orchestra
03 Old Devil Moon -  Enoch Light And The Light Brigade
04 The Man I Love - The Command All-Stars
05 Tenderly - Los Admiradores
06 Who Can I Turn To - Various
07 It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing - Don Lamond And His Orchestra
08 Blues In The Night - The Command All-Stars
09 Making Whoopie - Los Admiradores
10 My Heart Belongs To Daddy - Terry Snyder & The All Stars
11 Love For Sale - The Command All-Stars
12 Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me - Don Lamond And His Orchestra
13 I Can Dream Can I - Los Admiradores
14 Volare Cha Cha - Enoch Light And The Light Brigade
15 Red Roses For A Blue Lady - Various
16 All The Way - The Command All-Stars
17 Bingo Bango Bongo Baby - The Command All-Stars

The focus in this one is on 'percussion'. All my own rips from my personal vinyl collection.
Because this series is quite time consuming in the making, I'm going to post the next installment the first of December. This will give me the time to work on them.
Enjoy and let me know in the comments what you think !
