One of the leading percussionists of the Space Age Pop Music era, Terry Snyder worked with Bert Block's studio groups, the Bert Block Orchestra, a standard big band, and the Bell Music Orchestra, which anticipated the Space Age Pop Music era with its arrangements for celesta, bells, and drums. He became a featured player on New York City radio station WNEW in 1940.
Snyder was Perry Como's favorite drummer, and he worked with Como on recordings, radio, and television from the late 1940s until his death. He sat in with a variety of groups through the early 1950s, from classical schmaltz pianist Shura to Stan Freeman's harpsichord album to light jazz combos led by Bill Clifton. He worked with Enoch Light and Lew Davies on the first four "Persuasive Percussion" LPs on Command, then was hired away by United Artists to debut their competing "Wall-to-Wall Sound" series of Gatefold LPs.

I love the sonic fidelity of Command Records. Every one is liked and you get a crispness of sound from each instrument. The arrangements are not very good. I guess they reflect the 50s'-60's vibe. But if you have a stereo with good speaker separation, you can marvel at the ping-pong effects. Horns sound live, cymbals ring and fade. I have a collection of Commands. Even Basis recorded a Command album. They also recorded on 35mm film for a more pure sound. Check them out for yourself!

We listened to this when we were kids on pirated LPs. Brings back fond memories. Great sound quality! Thanks for the upload.

This was originally released in 1959. Command was known for recordings designed to show off the capabilities of a stereo system, hence the "ping-pong" effects. Enoch Light was the brains behind these recordings. In 1972, this album was remixed for quad, using the Sansui QS system. It did for quad what the initial mix did for stereo.

This album was first released in 1959, just two years after the soundtrack to Walt Disney’s “Fantasia” was released which was the first true stereo album with Leopold Stokowski & the Philadelphia Orchestra where they featured classical pieces from the film instead of animation, it has great stereo listening as it was an experiment. I have the soundtrack to “Fantasia” in my collection.
