Les and Larry Elgart - Wonderful World of Hits



Snappy swing band arrangements make this all-too-brief outing by les freres Elgart well worth a listen. While each tune is short (around two and a half minutes) there's plenty going on. The highlight for me is 'Ode To Billie Joe' which even has some psychedelic fuzz-tone guitar.

01 - Torino
02 - Tara Theme
03 - Camelot
04 - When I Look In Your Eyes
05 - The Bobo
06 - Ode To Billie Joe
07 - Lady
08 - To Sir With Love
09 - Live For Life
10 - What A Wonderful World
11 - Spanish Eyes

Hey Mr. Snookles, I have just ripped Les and Larry Elgart Au Go Go for later next week and want to thank you for this great addition.

One question though, Does Megaupload register you downloads promptly? Seems not to account for them on my end.

Hi Oracle;

Megaupload can take days or even weeks to register downloads sometimes - for a while a thought about not uploading to MU as all my posts were registering 0 downloads, then all of a sudden they jumped to 50 downloads overnight...

Thanks for the imput. I wondered what the deal was. I never uploaded to MU only downloaded on the premium account. That splains everything.

Thank you.

Looking at the back cover noticed the music was arranged by Bobby Scott!

Anything by Scott is worth a listen.
