MGM Records ushered in the 1970's with this "Golden
Archive Series". The "series" was only released in 1970.
I find it extremely amusing that the label promoted these records
as "The
Exciting GAS Series From MGM" (!). Maybe that's why the
series came and went in one year.
The album has been "electronically recorded to simulate stereo"
which in those days meant that the bass was high on one channel,
and the treble was high on the other channel, plus a little
reverb and echo added, making the recordings sound a little
more current.
