Re: [ARSCLIST] Stereo Action--[ARSCLIST] Early stereo mass market tapes
If you dig the Stereo Action Series, then there is one volume you should know about that never appeared on LP. "See It In Sound" was Esquivel's entry to the Stereo Action canon. I think it's Esquivel's best album myself, and it was produced by Neely Plumb in 1960, but RCA Victor decided to pass. It was finally released on CD only in 1999 on 7L/Buddah. It's kind of a hard disc to come by already, but I highly recommend it - there's a bullfighting sequence you won't believe, and everyone should hear "Honky Tonky Cha Cha" at least once in their lives.
