Off and running, Flying Platters was the Los Angeles warblers' second album for Mercury Records. It features the elegant ones doing what they do best: Platterizing standards. Lead singer Tony Williams' crystal tenor is positively beguiling on "Mean to Me," "Darktown Strutters Ball," "In the Middle of Nowhere," and the LP's only single release "Only Because."

Tracks: You are so beautiful/ Mean to me/ darktown strutters' ball/ No power on earth/ I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter/ time and tide/ Love, you funny thing/ In the middle of nowhere/ Oh promise me/ Don't forget/ Only because/ Sweet sixteen.
