We \'Jere very proud of our first ellorl in that it showed the mixture of technique and excitement that we try to achieve in every performance. We see a record album as a mirror of our musical taste, which is the reason we're anxious for you to hear our most recent recording, "The Older. .. The Betler." If you're a connoisseur of barbershop harmony, we think you'll appreciate how we've grown. You'll notice the influence of other great quartets, and of contemporary, country and gospel music. You'll hear the story of "Bill the Purple Bear" and our rendi· tion of the 40's hit, "Java Jive," as well as "pure" barbershop from three dillerent decades. This album is just now being released .. but you'd better hurry!
