The Bert Kaempfert Orchestra has been almost solely responsible for proving to the world that music in Germany is not all polkas and marches. When their arrangements first penetrated into the rest of Europe and the world, all enthusiasts of this kind of music had to admire the precision and disciplined punch of an orchestra that heralded a resurgence of big band pop everywhere their music was heard.
The Oscar Brandt Orchestra is strictly a recording amalgamation only. It is made up of top European musicians who are themselves great admirers of Bert Kaempfert and who fully appreciate just what their whole profession has gained through his work. This is their tribute to Bert Kaempfert—band-leader, arranger and composer.

Here is a group who have become internationally famous by their style of singing. We have recreated as close as possible to their original style. We feel their interpretation of the famous Lennon and McCartney song (Ticket to Ride) is truly great, also the chart success “Superstar”. We think that the “Session Singers” who were engaged for the production of this album have truly paid tribute to the (Carpenters).

The world renowned music of Burt Bacharach, tunes people can hum or whistle, has a charm and vivacity all on its own. His songs are performed by singers all over the world, and every one of his hit compositions, leave an indelible mark on the pop music scene for generations to come. Burt, a handsome young New Yorker is also a very accomplished arranger pianist and singer. Marlene Dietrich admires him not only as her conductor and arranger, but also as a man. With pride we present this album, beautifully performed by the SINGERS & CHORUS OF MANHATTAN, as a salute to the greatest contemporary composer of modern music. So relax, and listen enthralled, because here – Burt Bacharach is really – CLOSE TO YOU.

This makes the tenth L.P. in the “Top of the Pops” series, which (apart from the water for the whisky) must be about the best value for a party you’ll ever find.
Right now there are quite a few people sharing this opinion because with each fresh issue we keep finding “Top of the Pops” in the best sellers, and that can only be because the word’s getting around!
So, if you like parties, use “Top of the Pops” as an excuse to organise your own. Alternatively, if you don’t like parties, why, throw a quick one and just invite yourself.

When a budget record claims to offer million seller hits including such classics as Hey Jude, Satisfaction, Maggie May, and I’m A Believer you should greet it with a large pinch of salt. Although nowhere on the record cover or sleeve does it point out that these recordings are by session musicians whose job it is to try to make them sound as close to the actual recordings as possible. Sometimes they come close, most times they don’t. Here is another in the sound-alike category!
