Persuasive Percussion was an LP album performed by Terry Snyder and the All Stars and released in 1959 by Command Records (run by Enoch Light).

The packaging includes the first use of the gatefold cover which, upon being unfolded, lists information about each selection.

The liner notes state that the album may be used to test audio equipment, due to the stereo placement of sounds independently in either the left or right channel (something common today, but extremely innovative in 1959).

The album cover artwork, by Josef Albers, is minimalistic in style, consisting of an arrangement of dots.

Much like Milton Berle, whose antics in the early days of TV was credited with selling millions of sets, this album undoubtedly brought to light the startling musical aspects of stereo sound on records".
