- Sylvester Music Company-Go...The Paris Modern Sound- LP- Mono-Sylvester Music Co SMC/LP507 - Early 1960's 33 1/3 RPM 10" UK LP, from the Sylvester Music Company of England. Sylvester Company was (still existing?) a music library, similar to DeWolfe, which supplied original instrumental music for various film, radio and television projects. This volume is a rather hip one, with varied styles, including spaghetti western, jazz, and jazzy Pop which would now be called Lounge-Core. Cover has a name in pen on back cover. Glossy cover is otherwise clean. Disc is clean with only very minor marks. Very rare in the US!

- Three Suns-A Swingin' Thing- LP- stereo-RCA LSP 2963 - 1964 33 1/3 RPM LP release by The Three Suns. Group was a huge success from the late 1940's to the early 1960's, due to their unique and adventurous instrumental blend of organ, guitar, and accordion, with ace production by Roy Glover. Group was composed of brothers Al and Morty Nevins, with cousin Artie Dunn. Sound of the group varies from inventive Easy Listening to some really great Lounge/Space Age Pop at times. Album at hand has a nice selection of standards, including "Mean to Me", "A Taste of Honey" and "Lazy River". Album is still factory SEALED-100% new and unused-in the original shrinkwrap. Shrink has parted a bit along the right edge, but disc has clearly never been removed. Cover is near-perfect with some tiny wear to the exposed bottom right corner. Not available on CD. From the collection of a former RCA Records representative.
