Exotic Strings - Percy Faith

Flamingo
Exotic Strings
The Spellbinding String Magic Of Percy Faith And His Orchestra
Columbia
CL 1902
1962

Faith's stab at cashing in on late 50s, early 60s exotica music trends.

From December 22, 1962 Billboard: The pure silken arrangements of Percy Faith really shimmer on this lush mood package. Romantic would be the word for such delightful background mood offerings as Dancing In The Dark.
