As good as Mr. Black's arrangements were, I don't think they were any better
than those by Carmen Dragon, who, with the Hollywood Bowl SO, created some
fabulous albums for Capitol.  Phase4's distinctive multi-mono sound may have
made a perceivable difference, though.  I still go crazy over Bob Sharples'
band arrangements on Phase4, though.  I have been looking for CDs of America
on the March and Battle Stereo for years.  None of this will help you find
Black's charts, but good luck anyway.
