This is designed to showcase the music associated with Sergio Mendes as played by the Harry South Big Band and also to demonstrate the 'Living Presence Stereo' produced by the Philips record company.
It is a huge band with a double brass section (one playing out of each channel) and producing an equally huge sound. Turn down the volume before playing!
The sleeve has a 'simplified diagram of part of the complex multitrack stereo recording system used for creating living presence stereo'. I hate to think what the complex diagram looked like.
And to round it all off there is a wonderful piece of technical data which is pure gobbledegook. I think it's something to do with microphones. Did people really care about those things back in 1969?
The band is packed with big names but there are few solos and these are not identified.
But forget the jargon and the trivia - just enjoy the music.
