Allmusic[5]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow noted: "Some of arranger Pete Rugolo's Mercury and Emarcy recordings of the late 1950s seemed to concentrate more on getting effects than producing creative jazz. ... the album is primarily for hi-fi freaks and those who love percussion solos."[5]

Personnel
gollark: Besides, I would have to write up the challenge.
gollark: I can't initiate guessing. We haven't done the submissions.
gollark: I suppose that means you can get away with ones which are very rarely lossy.
gollark: Losslessness will be tested by randomly generating a lot of inputs and compressing and decompressing them, probably.
gollark: But that sounds like a few cryoapioforms in many ways.
