A Stunning Achievement In Sound By

These two albums were created by Terry Snyder, and recorded in 1960 and

1961 by Ultra Audio Records--the ultimate in stereophonic sound--with you,

the listener in mind. This is moving Sound, high fidelity, and the apex in recording

as presented by a true master in the field.

In order to achieve the imaginative and creative new sounds he was looking

for, Snyder called upon some of America's most brilliant arrangers, including

Stu Phillips and Joe Lipman, who along with his fellow musicians, and the best

recording engineers, helped him create the most exciting percussion albums

ever recorded.

Mister Percussion and Footlight Percussion, are a thrilling musical experience,

framed by brass and woodwinds, with startling arrangements and outstanding

displays of brilliant musical sounds, played expertly by Terry Snyder

and the All Stars.
