Jerry Meadows And His Orchestra - Surprise Party For Dancing (1961) [Hi-Res]

The album is a typical example of an early 1960s budget dance record designed for home parties. Its program revolves around the popular Latin dance rhythms of the era — mambo, cha-cha-cha, and merengue — interspersed with swing and lyrical arrangements of well-known American standards. The repertoire includes such familiar melodies as "Chattanooga Choo Choo," "Fascination," "Old Devil Moon," "June Is Bustin' Out All Over," and "Shine On Harvest Moon," all delivered in light orchestral arrangements tailored for the dance floor.
Virtually nothing is known about Jerry Meadows himself beyond this release — he was most likely one of many anonymous studio bandleaders employed by SPC to populate the catalogs of its budget labels. The record holds collector interest as a characteristic artifact of the American cheap LP industry at the turn of the 1950s–60s.
