Warren Covington & Tommy Dorsey And His Orchestra – It Takes Two To...
LP, Album | Decca | Cat. No. DL 8996 | Canada
A ballroom dancing instruction LP from Warren Covington leading the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra — twelve tracks each paired with a specific dance style, making it as much a dance guide as a listening record. Side A covers Medium Fox Trot (Bye Bye Blackbird), Slow Fox Trot (Ebb Tide), Party/Circle Dance (The Hokey Pokey), Slow Waltz (Shadow Waltz), Mexican Hat Dance (La Raspa), and Peabody/Fox Trot (The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise). Side B moves into Jitterbug (In The Mood), Charleston, Bunny Hop, Polka, Viennese Waltz, and Rock 'n' Roll/Fox Trot (High Fever). A charming period piece for dancers, big band collectors, and anyone who loves the Dorsey sound. Tape on bottom of sleeve. VG+ vinyl in VG sleeve.
