This whole album is very fun. Apparently track 3 is named after a Sherlock Holmes story (Wikipedia)
The title is based on a character in one of the 56 short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. Don Juan Murillo is a deposed dictator from Central America, formerly known as “The Tiger of San Pedro”, living in England, in the story “The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge”.
Moonshine and Marches from Old South Mountain This record is from 1963 and includes the first recording I have heard of the Lehigh Band at Carnegie Hall in 1962 (Track 7, “The Foundation”).
This is now my second undated Lehigh vinyl. We could probably pin down the year by contacting the admissions department but it’s a good reminder to date your work!
Update, 2025: I found some info on a website called Worthpoint which seems to reproduce listings from online stores that indicates that this is disk two of a three disk set from 1948-49!
I’ve reproduced the reproduction here for future reference:
Excellent vintage condition. Some damage to the outer case binding and to one of the record sleeves (small split at bottom). Outer case has some scuffs and stains consistent with age of the item.

Pops by the Lehigh University Band Another Lehigh vinyl acquired and now available on Archive.org. From discussion in the Marching 97 alumni band Facebook group we’ve learned the following:
“Pops used to be the spring concert for Wind Ensemble, IIRC”
“Jim Brown was a faculty member at Lehigh from 1973 to 1979. So, this record probably came from mid 70’s”
