This album with compositions by Johann Strauss II was recorded by an unnamed “Symphony Orchestra” conducted by “Valentino” – probably a fantasy name. It was released by His Master’s Voice in the United Kingdom in 1957. This is an American pressing by ABC-Paramount Records.

The cover was designed by Winifred Milius Lubell (1914–2012). For the title, she combined a bichromatic setting of the ornate Lexington (for “STRAUSS”) with caps from an unidentified plain sans (for “IN HI-FI”). The track list is set in News Gothic Bold.
