This is a wonderful compilation of works that producer Gary Usher recorded and produced with various artists between 1964 and 1966. In my opinion, these productions belong to the best works Usher made in the sixties. Another jewel from Teensville Records. Very recommendable for friends of this music. I am sorry, but no booklet. If someone of you have it, it would be much appreciated when it could be posted here in the comments. Thank you and...Enjoy (Frank)
