Billboard Chart Scrapers: The Armada Orchestra (1975)


First in a series.  To be considered a "chart scraper" album, an artist must have had only one album make the Billboard 200 album chart during the years 1976-85.  Said album spent no more than two weeks on the chart, placing no higher than 196.  They're all new to me.

So it's a generic, orchestral disco album, but the playing and mix are of high quality. If you need to license background music for your next roller-disco film/party, this will do nicely. Who knows? Maybe these guys recorded this one day and the soundtrack to Star Wars the next.
