Stylus Music proudly presents " Beat Up the Classics! KOKOMO - Asia Minor LP, LUDWIG & THE KLASSIKS LP" (10PTING 312)

The perfect underscore to that great lost Blake Edwards movie, classical melodies getting a 1966 paint job by Ludwig and his Gang. Produced by Joe Saraceno, the mastermind behind so many 60s instros by The Ventures, Marketts and Routers. These are probably  all Wrecking Crew musicians having a good time. By contrast, rewind six years and you have the smash hit Asia Minor by Jimmy Wisner nee Kokomo. This was his  only hit followed by his first LP both in the USA and Australia.With 12 tracks of well known themes. King Of Hearts is In the Hall Of the Mountain King whilst Piano Rhapsody is Brahms Hungarian Dance. Add his singles and a few choice items from his back catalogue and you have nearly the full picture of this remarkable man's talent. The rear cover gives all the details of where the tracks originate from.
