A Taste of Mauriat is a 1967 orchestral pop LP showcasing Paul Mauriat’s lush arrangements and easy listening style. He went on to have a huge international orchestral hit with Love is Blue - a vocal version of which had been runner-up to Sandie Shaw's Eurovision winner of 1967, Puppet on a String. Built around sweeping strings, light rhythms and melodic interpretations of contemporary material, the album reflects the polished European studio sound of the late 60s. The album sits squarely in the tradition of instrumental pop and mood music of the period. EX vinyl and sleeve.
