You'll have to read for yourself the liner notes for these two albums, Background Music: Light and Lively, and Background Music: Songs for Harmonizing. They are all enclosed in the file you're going to download.
Suffice it to say that these albums were presented for a specific demographic, the Anxious Party Host. They're basically compilation albums of tracks by Capitol artists, assembled to enhance social interaction.
The CD cover art shown above is a reconstruction of mine for a possible album in the series that would contain both of the LPs. Original album art is of course also included.
Click alert! There are a few ticks in a couple of tracks. Remember, these are ACTUAL RECORDS with sound waves pressed into plastic and relayed by a needle ... So please be gracious with any intrusions.
