ENCORE - If The Bands Were Here Today - Bernie Lowe Orchestra

Bernie Lowe was a Julliard-trained pianist playing, arranging and conducting the orchestra on "The Paul Whiteman TV Teen Club" in the early fifties when he met Dick Clark, the announcer for the show's live Tootsie Roll commercials. The two became friends and, later, business associates.

Lowe produced some of the great Philadelphia rock and roll records and in the early 60s produced a series of albums featuring songs of the era done as "If The Bands Were Here Today." He also did the excellent Helen O'Connell and Bobby Rydell sessions I've already posted. This posting is from the ENCORE (3rd in the series) and is posted first because it's the only one I have in stereo and is the best sound. Ticks and pops cleaned up and ready for you to enjoy. You'll easily identify the sounds of the bands his skilled orchestrator, Sid Feller, is imitating.

If anyone has the first two albums in STEREO, I'd love to get copies. My mono copies are "OK" but would rather post the stereo versions, or obtain them from another blog.
