REVIEW

“…16 instrumental polkas released as singles by the Alice Texas based Ideal company in the ’50s and ’60s. Most are by conjuntos for whom of course polkas have always been a mainstay … but the uptown orquesta and mariachi styles are also represented…. Try this at your next party and find out who the real dancers are.”
