Big Swing Face (Buddy Rich album)

Big Swing Face is a 1967 live album and the second album by Buddy Rich and his 1960s big band. "The Beat Goes On" is a feature for Rich's daughter Cathy, whose vocal performance was overdubbed later at United Recording in Hollywood.[3] A reissue in 1996 doubles the listing with nine previously unreleased performances from the same engagement at the Chez Club in Hollywood.[4]
