Persuasive Percussion Vol. 3 was another 'ping-pong' album from Enoch Light, demonstrating stereo effects and targeting the burgeoning audiophile hi-fi market. However, the novelty was beginning to wear a little thin and future releases would be less successful. (US:3)
“A dozen interpretations of popular music standards with highly stylized arrangements centring on full-bodied organ solos as well as significant augmentation from bongos, maracas, and a variety of additional hand-percussion instruments. The melodies were often given light and easy listening interpretations.”
“For those who like true lounge music. The kind that will propel you to 'sing along' with a series of 'brrrips', 'zips' and 'pop-a-taas'. This set is for you.”
“The percussion sounds great, the bass is solid, the arrangements absolutely terrific.”
“Among the apex in not only composition by Light, but in stereo recording. Very enjoyable music. So put on this LP, sit back and smile.” “The ping-pong effect is quite apparent in stereo recordings of this era.”
“I have been a fan of Enoch Light from the early 60s. His musical style from that era was totally different. Great to listen and dance to.”
“The sounds, so crisp, clean, and smooth. The stereo separation, the melodies that seemed to always be a part of my consciousness. It's all here.” “It's the real deal: a throwback to a time when red meat and cigarettes weren't going to kill you, when Martinis and Manhattans and Mai Tais were quaffed without care of carbs or chastising glances, when stereophonic recordings were an exciting novelty.”
“A lovely assortment and arrangement of old standards and then current hits from the magical 60s.”
