Leslie Jeffries And His Rialto Orchestra play "Chili Bom Bom", with some nice playing by trumpet, alto sax and trombone (Ted Heath). This is a studio band made up of several members of the regular Jeffries' Rialto Orchestra, which played at the Rialto Club in Coventry Street, London, augmented by musicians drawn from a pool of dance band sidemen who often worked for studio bandleader Stan Greening at the time.

This Belgian label is the only known release for this side, according to "British Dance Bands On Record". Has any one seen a copy of this on ACO or associated Vocalion issues?
