RCA Victor's gimmicky "Dynagroove" title translates concretely into a recording process that really delivers the goods. Whether mastered by an "electronic brain" or no, there's phenomenal audio range and superior dynamics on their 1963 stereo LP, TEEN SCENE (LSP 2719). Each studio musician has "presence" and his own spot on the imaginary soundstage, with Chet Atkins' guitar naturally front and center.
On "I Got a Woman," Charlie McCoy's harmonica backing is at the right. He's joined on "Rumpus" by the honking baritone sax of Boots Randolph, and Floyd Cramer's left channel piano. Bottom bass notes on "I Love How You Love Me" are most impressive; a mixed chorus and vibes replace Charlie and Boots at right channel. Atkins takes the melody, Cramer the bass part on "Walk Right In." Tightly set bongos at the right and chorus in the center for this folk hit cover. Randolph joins in later. A really swingin' "Indiana" has Boots honking away on the right, with McCoy joining him later.
The LP's title piece starts with Floyd on left channel Hammond organ, Randolph at the right, with Chet providing phantom center support. Boots and Cramer play in tandem for the coda. Again, deep bass is what's most prominent on "A Little Evil" and "I Will." Randolph has a cool solo on the latter, with Floyd's tinkling chords most noticeable. Electric organ at left with centered chorus singing a bit of the film title to "Bye Bye Birdie." Boots joins in mid-way through. As with all previous cuts, Chet generously shares the spotlight on a cooly-percussive set-closer, "Suzie-Q." Hammond organ at left, Randolph's reed at right; the deepest bass ever heard backs them all. ~Annie Van Auken
