The music reissued on
More Fabulous Ballroom was originally recorded by the
Arthur Murray Orchestra in 1961 for use on dance instruction LPs, including 21 tracks that illustrate dance steps for the fox trot, waltz, cha cha, and pachanga. Though the reissue's liner notes give instructions for only one dance (the pachanga), the music is quite solid vocal-chorus orchestral pop. Retrophiles as well as dancers will enjoy it, with tracks like "The Song from Moulin Rouge," "Sentimental Journey," "Wunderbar," "Autumn Leaves," and many others. ~ Earl Simmons
