Warren Kime deserves top billing in the "now sound" hall of fame for his three remarkable Command albums featuring his Brass Impact band. With their bright yellow-brass covers, these records stand out from the crowd in the bins and on the turntable, and offer an intense, delicious blend of groovy tunes, splashy instrumental arrangements, and ecstatic vocal highlights.
Kime was a big band vet. He played trumpet and even took the mike as a singer on occasion, and toured as a member of bands led by Ray Anthony, Ralph Marterie, and others, before settling in Chicago in the mid-1950s, where he worked as a staff musician for CBS.
And for the moment, only those lucky enough to stumble across a Brass Impact album and give it a spin have the chance to experience some of the most exciting music of the space age pop era. The rest of you can stare at your CD players and keep your fingers crossed.

Terry Snyder & His All Stars...Persuasive Percussion.

Some great Stereo Now !!
Persuasive Percussion was an LP album performed by Terry Snyder and the All Stars and released in 1959 by Command Records (run by Enoch Light). The packaging includes the first use of the gatefold cover which, upon being unfolded, lists information about each selection. The liner notes state that the album may be used to test audio equipment, due to the stereo placement of sounds independently in either the left or right channel (something common today, but extremely innovative in 1959). The album cover artwork, by Josef Albers, is minimalistic in style, consisting of an arrangement of dots. The album was the first volume in a series of Persuasive Percussion releases. 
In August 1960, Persuasive Percussion was No. 1 on The Billboard's Stereo Action Album chart.
