This Month's (Not Quite Thrift Store) Vinyl Sharity

Werner Müller and His Orchestra, Songs of Joy (London/Phase 4, n.d.)

The US album art is a bit misleading: this isn't world, African-American, or African-European music. Instead, Müller's extrememly competent orchestrations, as noted here, rule the day. But then again, if you knew the label and orchestra, you wouldn't be confused anyway.

There seems to be an alternate cover that in its mood and subject is almost in direct opposition to the US art.

I cannot find the date for this record anywhere. It looks early 1970s. But this list of Phase Four recordings, and this one, too, do not provide any clues.

This, too, is a legacy rip from my father-in-law's collection. It is one big 56MB .zip file at rapidshare.
