 Smooth labels on my copy. Also has an insert with personnel and instrumentation details, pictures of 10 other Series 2000 releases and notes on the tracks. Mono releases used OT 25** and stereo used OTS 20**

'Like Bongos!' is a release I'd like to get. Mono is OT 2506, stereo is OTS 2006. Going to have a look on Discogs and Ebay now...

This is where I'm at now with my bin-digging habits...

...Anything odd, or unusual, that features any of the things that get my spidey-sense tingling gets me thinking: "Why not?"...and: "Yes Please!".

This, for instance, is another conjoined Oriole + partner label record (I've become intrigued by through finding some lovely classical Oriole / Eurodisc albums recently), it has a picture of a guitar (part) on it, albeit a rather abstract one, it has a lovely triple flip-back laminated sleeve, is in glorious stereo (from 1962!) and features an orchestra made up (almost) entirely of guitars!... acoustic, and electric, as well as mandolins.

It scored very highly on the Marmal-o-meter!

...............and I had to hear what it sounded like :)

It seems this is an Oriole pressing for the U.S. and Candaian Time label (Time Series 2000, to be exact), and further adds to the impression of Oriole casting about to get stuff to release.

Would be interested to know the story of Oriole around this time, and what other label tie-ins and other forgotten gems may be out there to be had.

This though, having only briefly played through it to get an impression, sounds pretty good... it's like your basic expectation of Italian mandolin music to Gondolier by... but the electric guitars add that extra dimension, and it is very wide-screen sounding stuff, and could easily be the incidental music soundtrack to one of those late fifties - early sixties Technicolor movies set in Rome, plus the intrigue element which gives it a bit of a James Bond - early sixties spy movie kind feel... all black polo-necks and milk tray man does Italian Job doin's.

Groovy stuff.

(Had a look about on the inter-knot, and found a separate mono issue of this, and also a "Spanish Guitars" album too, by the same artist).

I shall be saving this one for next Sunday to listen to more thoroughly... probably while I iron my underwear... but you don't need to know that.
