<div dir="ltr">Bill, Spike Jones released several records in the early 1960s with his "New Band" and it is all straight ahead dance music, no comedy: <a href="https://www.discogs.com/Spike-Jones-New-Band/release/4778668">https://www.discogs.com/Spike-Jones-New-Band/release/4778668</a><div>and <a href="https://www.discogs.com/Spike-Jones-New-Band-My-Man/release/2855225">https://www.discogs.com/Spike-Jones-New-Band-My-Man/release/2855225</a></div><div><br></div><div>However, nothing I can find with a title or subtitle of "Music for Dancers" in US releases.

Dear John,<br>
Mike Logsdon may be close to the answer with his reference to the RCA "The Charleston for Dancing” 45rpm 7” singles album.<br>
Sadly, the details are unreadable.<br>
Here is a better link to the full details:<br>

As an avid Spike Jones fan and collector, I find this one of my favourite sessions.<br>
Recorded for RCA in Hollywood on 17 December 1949.<br>
A The Charleston<br>
B Charlestono-Mio<br>
C Black Bottom<br>
D Doin' The New Raccoon<br>
E I Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight<br>
F Varsity Drag<br>
<br>
Although, it does contain some City Slicker “stuff’ and is ‘dixieland' ala Pee Wee Hunt.<br>
But, unfortunately, I was never been able to find that RCA set.<br>
I have the tracks on 78, LP and CD and they are on Youtube, but you will need to search there for them by each title.<br>
At first I assumed that you may be referring to the Spike Jones’ “Other Orchestra”.<br>
The big band he put together for a residency at the Trocadero in Los Angeles in March 1946 that recorded for Standard Transcriptions. Reissued on a Hindsight LP HSR-185.<br>

There is also a session for Liberty Records with his “New Band", recorded in September 1963 and released on an LP titled ‘Washington Square’.<br>
<a href="https://www.discogs.com/New-Band-Of-Spike-Jones-The-Washington-Square/release/3163171" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.discogs.com/New-<wbr>Band-Of-Spike-Jones-The-<wbr>Washington-Square/release/<wbr>3163171</a><br>
I have both. Well played, uninspiring, big band swing arrangements.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Bill.<br>
