A very rare album from cosmopolitan vocalist Zack Matalon born in Manchester but brought up in Jamaica and the west indies with orchestrations by maestro Laurie Johnson who went on to produce some much loved themes to TV shows such as the Avengers Jason King The professionals and UK Jazzer Kenny Graham etc engineered by Joe Meek - very varied album incorporating French Songs, West Indian Folk standard blues - Astonishing clarity in the recording as you might expect form the remarkable genius of Joe Meek !
