Although the liner notes claim he had already bested
Harpo Marx as the top, popular harpist, this record was the great introduction to
Robert Maxwell. The two originals making their debut here, "Ebb Tide" and "Shangri-La," are
Maxwell's most famous compositions. And "Limehouse Blues," later a highlight of the stereo showcase
Spectacular Harps, and "Chinatown, My Chinatown" are fantastic examples of
Maxwell's penchant for overdubbing. ~ Tony Wilds
