    This is a very underrated album by Sammy Davis Jr, probably because it came out near to the end of his recording career. I originally bought it as an American import on LP which had a great cover that opened out with a whole array of black & white photos of Sammy with many different friends and entertainers inside which was the size of four LP sleeves.... those were the days! As for the music, I think side A is much better with all the tracks being of a very high standard but Side B is not bad either!

      It appears that the Canadian and other US version from '72 differ on the upper right hand corner of the front cover.

      The last three tracks on side one are good. The track I am over 25 is weird and dated.
