RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON MERCURY 1961.

Mercury SR 60649 made in USA. Vinyl EX. Cover VG++.

Musical director for Mercury from 1951 to the early 1960s. As studio arranger and conductor, Carroll played on numerous Top 40 hits, backing the Crew Cuts on their #1 hit, Sh-Boom and Rusty Draper on his Shifting, Whispering Sands.Under his own name, he recorded a string of LPs with the dance theme, mostly featuring his own compositions. He employed the cream of Chicagos session men on his albums, including percussionists Dick Schory and Bobby Christian, Earl Backus on guitar, and Mike Simpson, who also composed a number of innovative pieces for percussion on Carrolls albums, on reeds. Quincy Jones composed a couple of numbers for Carroll during his stint as a musical director for Mercury, and several cuts on Carrolls later LPs sound suspiciously like Jones arrangements.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carroll_(musician)
