"Lambert Hendricks & Ross are still regarded as the finest jazz vocal group of all time: Their fame comes from their pioneering of vocalese; wordless vocals imitating instruments and they achieved this in an astonishing style that has never been surpassed.

This edition is full of rarities, restored and reissued on compact disc for the first time including numerous superb pre-LHR recordings involving Dave Lambert Singers and Annie Ross and three LHR live tracks from a 1958 radio broadcast; including a wild, nine minute Popity Pop that encapsulates everything about the group that was so extraordinary. Jazz / light vocal pop crossover potential, very modern and cool; Beach Boys, Four Freshmen, Hi-Los, Free Design, Harpers Bizarre, Association etc".
