Enoch Light is DA MAN, make sure you check him out. If I remember my research, Provocative Percussion came at about 1961, right after Ping Pong Percussion in 1959-ish. I just picked up an album (yes, vinyl... what's this crazy world coming to?) and I think it stuff late in the Provocative series; this one was 1964 and actually had the date on the back of the album sleeve, which is really rare.

Yours in Fidelity, Zark zark@tiac.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: sysop@musicbiz.com Subject: Enoch Light Date: 04 Jun 1995 18:00:24 EST OK, Joe...you asked for it! BTW, there was an earlier posting re: the original release date of Provocative Percussion. It was actually 1959, not 1961 as a fellow Lighthead ventured to guess. Provocative Percussion Vol. 4 was already released by that time, as well as Persuasive Percussion Vol. 4 (IMHO, the better of the two series). What follows are the liner notes of Provocative Percussion in their ENTIRETY... If you think you've heard everything--including a record which we describe as "the most unusual record you have ever put on your turntable"--even your richly experienced ears will be amazed at the fabulous sounds of Provocative Percussion. Provocative Percussion is a development in a slightly different direction from that record which we call "the most unusual." This is a flight into new areas of sonic and musical experience. That earlier record--"the most unusual record you have ever put on your turntable"--is called Persuasive Percussion, Command RS 800 S.D. When we wrote that strong, unflinching description of it, only a handful of people who had been closely associated in creating the record knew what a really unique disc it was. This was the first record ever made which combined brilliantly recorded, imaginatively arranged music with a painstakingly prepared series of tests which enabled the listener to check out and balance his stereo equipment so as to bring out all its marvelous potentials. It is the ultimate in practicality for the stereo listener served in musical surroundings of lasting interest. At first only a lucky few knew about it. Today Persuasive Percussion is a landmark in recording history! Not only has it reached a wider audience than any other test record ever made, but it has been adopted by the leading manufacturers of components and equipment as the definitive test for demonstrating and checking their products. It is used both within factories to check out equipment as it is assembled and it is specified for use in showing the capabilities of equipment in stores. The success of Persuasive Percussion has led to an even more advanced version of this combination of entertainment and technical check-out--Provocative Percussion. Here again are the means of balancing your stereo equipment so that it suits both the special requirements of the room in which you have set it up and the special characteristics of your ear. But musically this is a more subtle collection than the first one. Just look at the tunes. Just listen to the arrangements. And because it is more subtle, it enables you to make finer shadings in balancing your equipment, to make the most minute and refined type of check out. The tunes--lasting favorites, every one--have been given highly sophisticated, modern arrangements which involve an unusually inventive use of percussion, woodwinds and brass. In place of the two drummers heard on Persuasive Percussion, three are used on this new recording so that things that two drummers could not possibly do--unusually fast patterns or ideas that require a minimum of six arms--could be included. And of special interest to the real connoisseur of intriguing sounds is the cohesion and compactness that is implicit in these performances. These qualities are the result of extensive experimenting and research. They also stem from the presence in the Command All-Stars of musicians of the highest calibre, brilliant technicians in every chair. The all-important percussion section is made up of Terry Snyder, Willie Rodriguez and Artie Marotti with Leonard Calderon filling in for Rodriguez on some selections. The remainder of the rhythm section consists of Bob Haggart, bass, Tony Mottola, guitar, and Moe Wechsler, piano, while Charles Magnante and Dominic Cortese alternate on accordion. The melodic body of the All-Stars comprises four woodwinds (Ezelle Watson, Stanley Webb, Russ Banzer and either Milt Yaner, George Dessinger or Bernie Kaufman) and one brass instrument--Bobby Byrne, trombone, on Song of India, You're The Top, Blues In The Night and Mad About The Boy; Urbie Green, trombone, on S'Wonderful, Love for Sale, Mood Indigo and Ain't Misbehavin'; and Pee Wee Erwin, trumpet, on Somebody Loves Me, Perhaps-Perhaps-Perhaps, The Man I Love and Fascinating Rhythm. The purpose of this record, aside from the musical and sonic excitement it offers, is to enable you to balance your stereo equipment acoustically rather than mechanically (that is, so the furnishings in the room, the location of your speakers and any other condition in that particular room are taken into consideration), to help you adjust your system so that the musical sounds have the same quality in both high and low frequencies and to reduce distortion to the barest practical minimum. As in the case of Persuasive Percussion, the equipment in the famous Fine Recording Studios in New York which was to be used for this recording was painstakingly checked and tested before the recording began. The frequency response of both stereo recording channels was aligned electrically with the greatest deliberation and when the recorded tape had been accurately balanced and was ready for transfer to the master acetate, the stereo disc cutting equipment in the mastering room was lined up and checked out through a multitude of exacting frequency distortion runs. While you are enjoying the fascinatingly subtle arrangements that Lew Davies has written for the Command All-Stars, here are some of the things you can listen for to check the performance of your equipment: SIDE ONE 1. YOU'RE THE TOP This arrangement is full of sharp contrasts which check out the quickness and clarity of the response of your equipment. There is extreme separation between the two channels in the introduction in which a challenge is developed between the bongos on the left and brushes on the right. This separation should be strongly evident and the switch back and forth should not be diffused. The first chorus features the piano which is heard through the left speaker. The second chorus features saxes on the left speaker with brush "breaks" on the right speaker. 2. SOMEBODY LOVES ME In the unusual introductory passages, the tympani and bongos establish a pattern on the left speaker while the balance of the orchestra is featured on the right speaker. The definition in these passages is extremely sharp and this sharpness is an aid in checking the acoustical balance of your speakers. At the end of the introduction, the drums on the left speaker lead into the first chorus and the melody which is taken by the saxes on the left speaker with bongo fill-ins. At the end of the first eight bars of the chorus, the xylophone assumes command and is heard on the right speaker. In the middle of the first chorus you will hear a trumpet solo on the right speaker. The last eight bars of the first chorus feature the flute with an accompanying rhythm on maracas . . . both through the left speaker. The click and clack of these very small maracas provide a test for very sharp and very definite reproduction and the sharpness of the sound should be reproduced with explicit clarity, without fuzzing. In the passages when the deep voice of the baritone saxophone combines with the high, hard xylophone, both instruments should be reproduced with fullness. 3. BLUES IN THE NIGHT At the opening there are rising crescendos by the bongos on the left and by the brushes on the right which provide a good test for tracking. Unlike monaural records, which are inclined to skip when they are not tracking properly, stereo records may not skip at all when they are not tracking correctly. The clue to poor tracking in stereo is a sound like a sharp crack or pop. If your arm is not tracking accurately, the crescendos by the bongos and brushes will seem to break up and shatter. 4. PERHAPS, PERHAPS, PERHAPS This sensuous Latin favorite is scored to provide a severe test of clarity and response in the intensive rhythm patterns in the last chorus. Notice also the passages in which there is a very deep, low guitar on the right and the sharp, high-pitched sound of the accordion on the left. Each instrument should keep its characteristic timbre and there should be no melding if you are getting proper compliance from your pickup. 5. LOVE FOR SALE The two different scratchers heard in the opening combine a test of the response of your pickup under extremely difficult circumstances with a standard for balancing your speakers. The tonality of the scratcher at the left is subtly different from the tonality of the one on the right and this difference should be evident. Furthermore, because the scratcher is one of the most complicated sounds to reproduce, it takes an excellent pickup to make its short, staccato sounds come out as separate sounds instead of amplified surface noise. There is also a test for purity of sound in the passages by the saxophone, flute and woodwinds and when the piano comes in it should be clean and true with no splashing or splattering. 6. FASCINATING RHYTHM The extremely complex rhythms which build throughout this arrangement require fast response from your equipment. The individual sounds should retain their pronounced individuality throughout, without becoming confused with other sounds. Both this number and Mad About The Boy on the other side offer a special test to check the balance and positioning of your pickup arm. Because each is the last band on the side and is closest to the inner diameter of the disc, the pickup arm may bind as it approaches the center if it has not been properly positioned. If it is binding, you will hear a distortion on the left channel. SIDE TWO 1. S'WONDERFUL Again this side starts with a test for balancing your speakers with tympani and bongo patterns moving from one channel to the other. Later, after the trombone and woodwinds have been established on the left and the brushes and guitar on the right, there is an interlude following the first chorus in which a bongo on the left is balanced against brushes on the right. Further along the xylophone on the left channel is set against piano and bells on the right. All three instruments are percussive and hard but the distinctive tonality of each should not be lost either in balancing between the two sides or in the conjunction of piano and bells. 2. MOOD INDIGO Duke Ellington's lovely old blues starts with a complete checkout of two instruments which are very difficult to record and reproduce well--bass and guitar. The purity of the sound in this selection is also worth noting--the very clear piano on the right, the alto flute, the saxophone and the unusually distinct, clean-cut sound of the brushes in the background. 3. AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' An unusual bit of separation puts the emphasis on lows on the left- hand speaker with the highs on the right. This provides a test of each speaker's ability to cope with extremes of sound without distortion or imbalance. 4. THE MAN I LOVE Lew Davies' brilliant arrangement of one of George Gershwin's finest tunes is filled with difficult uses of extremely subtle sounds. The introduction pits the very tight sounds of tiny maracas on the right against the soft, plagent quality of the cymbal on the left. In the middle section of the first chorus, you will hear an unusually clean reproduction of a bass playing against a flute, a combination of high and low frequency sounds that is especially difficult to reproduce properly in tandem. The very lovely trumpet passages are played by Pee Wee Erwin. 5. SONG OF INDIA This number was chosen deliberately to explore the full range of percussion sound. Here you hear the full works paraded--the Chinese bell tree (a set of bells hung on a vertical stick which is struck with a fast downward motion) should be sharp and clean, each bell distinct and individual if your pickup is tracking properly; tiny finger cymbals with a high, hard sound which can easily be lost if you are *not* getting the full values of reproduction; tom-toms; timbales; bongos; kettle drums--the whole gamut of sharp, staccato sounds produced by percussion instruments. And be sure that you catch every last ripple of sound as the cymbal spreads its shimmering responses at the end. 6. MAD ABOUT THE BOY Strong musical contrasts mark this arrangement and it is these contrasts--high vs. low, deep vs. light--rather than percussive sounds which dominate the piece. Don't forget to pay special attention to the left channel for any signs of distortion. If you detect any, that means your pickup arm is binding and should be re- positioned immediately. WHEW! They never say by whom the liner notes are written for any of these Command recordings. You should really check out the notes on later Command LPs--much more descriptive in terms of musical rather than purely stereo effect.

I thought I'd take a moment finally and type in some liner notes as I promised! These are from _Command Performances_, (C) 1964 Grand Award Record Company, but the main label says Command Label. As we all know, Command puts wa-a-a-ay too many liner notes in their albums, and usually they're all spewing technical data but in this case it's... well... sexy. You don't believe me? Allow me to demonstrate: Side one, first track -- La Dolce Vita: "Boldness, brilliance, and breathlessly surging excitement road through this amazing lew Davies arrangements of nino Rota's theme for a picture of desperately decadent life in Italy. Power, bull-like and virile, rips out of the brass... the theme opens with potent fullness and depth that presages a fantastic test of recording virtuosity when a tremendous load is piled up in the descending passage ..." Stairway to the Sea: "The woodwinds hit deep and hard, followed by a brilliant smack of brass that sets the stage for a deep and brooding woodwinds exposition of the melody. The range ofg the recording on this piece is staggering for it includes the complete, full-bodied openness of passages by the whole orchestra, the lustrously glowing purity of Doc Severinsen's enormous trumpet tone..." That Old Black Magic: "Taken at an urgent, exciting tempo ... the unusual voicing of the strongly swinging saxophone ensemble and by Doc Severinsen's viruoso trumpet passage, rough-tones, insistent and climaxed by a rising, tightly ejected high note. The movement between instruments and within each group of instruments all through the piece (notice the furious exchange between organ-and-bongos and guitar-and- bongos at the beginning of the second chorus) sets up a rocketing, vibrating sense of rhythm that adds layer on layer of musical excitement that would be impossible to achieve with rhythm instruments alone." Rio Junction: "... underlining the propulsive force of the rhythm. And still the feeling of gaiety pervades the tune, particularly in the passage when the warm, low, woodsy clarinets spread a carpet for Phil Bodner's merry flute." Oh Lady Be Good: "The essential characteristics of two different kinds of skin-beating percussion..." So don't take my word for it, you be the judge. I don't know who wrote the liner notes, but... well, they should've gotten out more. Incidentily, whoever mentioned Tony Mottola can be comfy in the fact that he appears on many of the pieces here. - - Mark G., O.P.

The Jo Stafford Columbia CD box set also contains several Jonathan & Darlene Edwards recordings.

The article on Trip Toys is deceptively titled and fun. While the CD list is limited it has some odd titles of potential interest and I think the folks running the site are unaware of this list and might be interested in hearing from folks here.

Sophia Loren's Greatest Hits Forgot she could sing, huh. I remembered seeing her in this movie called "It Happened in Naples" with Clark Gable where she does these silly cabaret songs. They're in here! Along with other goofy Italian fluff. Songs like "Bing Bang Bong", "Zoo Be Zoo Be Zoo", "Soldi, Soldi, Soldi" along with themes from her most famous films. Some of the tracks are her and Peter Sellars! What a Combo! Instrumental Diamonds vol 3 I finally tracked down this CD compilation of British Intrsumentals. The CDs are out of print but, Midnight records (mail order and store) still had at least one copy of volume 3. Imagine: A group called the Eliminators cover "Elenor Rigby" with a jungle beat and tom toms! Some of these tunes are by t.v. theme show guys on their day off or popular groups looking to fill out a b-side, but all of it is great! Crazy instrumentation and somebody does a cha cha version of "Caravan" that's worth the price of the CD alone! Anybody get the Space Age Pop CDs yet?
