Post Horn Galop is a track on this record. We can each make our own minds up as to what that might actually mean. The beautiful cover might help.

Though every once in a while a country record would burst into the pop charts, maybe even sell a million copies and earn a gold disc award, the music was, until just a few years ago, essentially an esoteric interest, lacking any real impact with the general record-buying public. All that has changed now though and country music has not only become one of the biggest selling of all popular music forms its appeal has become international, as is evidenced by the enormous success of such events as the annual Country Music Festival held at Wembley.

“Dance your ass to Salsoul Records” shouts the back of this lady’s T-shirt. Salsoul being the label set up by MFSB’s Vincent Montana Jr who produced and arranged this collection of yuletide tunes. “Salsoul” was coined to describe the fusion of soul music and salsa music as made by urban Latinos.

The ‘New Pop Organ Sound’ – what is that? With all due modesty: technically it is the most ingenious and musically the most fascinating production, which has been made to date with the electronic organ and it was created by a single artist: by Klaus Wunderlich. Connoisseurs have said: there is no one in the world to match him and his New Pop Organ Sound.
At the beginning, there was the good old Hammond H 100. Then, in 1974, Klaus Wunderlich had the idea of supplementing the unmistakable Hammond Sound with two more organs. He added a Lowrey H 25-3 and a Wersi W 248 S. With these three organs in his studio Klaus Wunderlich has at his command an infinite variety of sounds at his disposal. When you hear instruments like trombones, accordions or even strings of this LP, these sound colours will on generally from the Lowrey Organ. Piano, harps or similar effects are played by Klaus Wunderlich on the Wersi organ, The Hammond H 100 generally takes care of the melody line.
In his studio Klaus Wunderlich mixes his completely individual sound – the ‘New Pop Organ Sound’ – the sound of a large orchestra – on his three organs. Just two musicians, who add certain rhythm elements, help him in his work.

Feeling in the mood for some musical relaxation? Them just sit back and enjoy the work of a team who really know what easy listening is all about.
For nobody knows better than The Cliff Adams Singers, a group of people who have been singing songs in their own kind of way for several years now, and who have a formula that shows no sign of wearing out its welcome on the thousands who regularly tune into their radio shows.
It’s a success born out of a basic simplicity of vocal style and the knack that Cliff Adams has of choosing just the right kind of song. He takes songs that everybody knows and loves and, because they’re such good songs, they need none of the trappings of clever arrangements.
On this album, the Adam Singers vocal charm works like a dream and creates the kind of listening pleasure that can only leave you asking for more. And that’s why the “Sing Something Simple” formula is one of the most popular sounds around.
