Lo-Fi, audiophile recording. Reissue on Phillips mid-1950s, 1930s takes with Teddy Wilson, Roy Eldridge and Lester Young. A record with cracks, but the great Mandy Is Two makes sense to listen to it anyway; Billy is uniquely nice.
The Souvenirs – a super hit of the maestro and a decent record!, Action lady – the orchestra is mixed competently and in a variety way beautifully, but the voice is tortured by overdubs. “Midnight Is the Time I Need You” – is a good one., “Names” – skillfully combined from pieces and based on The Shadow of Your Smile. A good sounding pop orchestra as a big plus.

Philips B 07034 L mid-1950s (original album-Columbia, 1954), the condition of the disc is below average. From an audiophile point of view, it is interesting to listen to “You don’t know what love is” where the accompanying orchestra is recorded cleanly and clearly.
