Latin Percussion ... LP 
Mercury, 1960. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
... LP, Vinyl record album
Clebanoff & His Orchestra —
Lush, Latin & Bossa Nova Too! ... LP Mercury, 1963. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Way more than just the usual snoozer you might expect from Clebanoff – thanks to a good dose of bossa in the mix! The style here is still heavy on the strings, as in the usual Clebanoff mode – but the overall arrangements are also considerably lighter, and trade previous romantic ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

... LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. A nice copy.)
Xavier Cugat —
Cugat Caricatures ... LP Mercury, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Silly title – but a great album, with Cugie playing relatively straight Latin versions of 60s pop hits. A few of the tunes are a bit silly, but there's less of the goofiness that "caricatures" might imply. Titles include "Papa Loves Mambo", "Night Train", " ...

(Dutch black label pressing. Cover has a date in ben and wavy corners.)
Mercury, Early 60s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $11.99
Later work from Xavier Cugat, and done with a groovy 60s vibe – more in the Mercury hi fi mode of the time than his earlier tracks! Japanese pressing – plays at 45rpm for added fidelity! (Latin, Now Sound) LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese pressing, with obi! Cover has light wear on one edge – vinyl is nice.)
Quincy Jones —
Big Band Bossa Nova ... CD 
Mercury/Verve, 1962. Used ... Out Of Stock
Perhaps THE greatest Quincy Jones album of the 60s – a hard-swinging batch of big band bossa tunes – and one of the greatest American takes on the bossa sound ever! Quincy really brings a lot of soul to the set – syncopating the bottom end of the tunes to really bring out the ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more CD
Ralph Marterie & His Marlboro Men —
Music For A Private Eye – Swinging Themes Of Famous TV Whodunits ... LP Mercury, 1959. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Nice and jazzy – with tracks that include "Alfred Hitchcok Presents", "M Squad", "Richard Diamond", "Private Eyeball", "Riff Blues", and "The DA's Man". Arrangements by Pete Rugolo and Skippy Martin! LP, Vinyl record album
Paul Mauriat —
Windy/Mercury/Vocalion (UK), Late 80s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Two later records from 60s French easy maestro Paul Mauriat – recorded at a time when we're not sure we even knew Mauriat was still making music! The instrumentation and production are updated slightly, but Paul's still got that sense of melody and space that always made his music stand out ... read more CD
Pete Rugolo —
10 Trumpets & 2 Guitars ... LP Mercury, Early 60s. Very Good Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
An extremely groovy session from arranger Pete Rugolo – done in a style that's partly jazz, but which also has lots of dynamic range – in a way that's almost in the style of some of the RCA bachelor pad albums from the time. Rugolo makes the most of the interesting format – using ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Pete Rugolo —
Percussion At Work ... LP Mercury, Late 50s. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A percussion-heavy batch of tracks that has Pete Rugolo starting from a mode explored heavily in the hi-fi years, but taking the genre into much jazzier territory! With the help of a large group of west coast players – including Don Fagerquist, Larry Bunker, Herbie Harper, Frank Rosolini, ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Mercury, 1967. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $3.99
The first, and perhaps the most conventional album by Spanky & Our Gang – but still pretty darn insane! The group are a strange mix of 60s styles – with bits of We Five, bits of Harpers Bizarre, bits of The Association – but a totally strange and totally fun approach to pop ...

(Red label stereo pressing. Cover has a bent corner and some surface wear.)
Carl Stevens —
African Sounds ... LP Mercury, Early 60s. Very Good Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Swinging big band exotica stuff recorded for Mercury as part of their 35mm film series. Includes "Baby Elephant Walk", "Afrikaan Beat", "Wimoweh (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)", "Botha-Botha", "Jolly Jika", "The Call Of The Jungle", "Skoki ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
