Nona Hendryx at the height of her 80s glory – looking mighty fierce in a fencing costume on the cover!

A wonderful bit of hipster tracks from the early 60s! Mel Henke was part Esquivel, part Pete Rugolo, part Ken Nordine, part Kenyon Hopkins – and one of the best, and most underrated of the late 50s/early 60s bachelor pad arrangers!

The record's definitely a nostalgia blitz, but one that has a very strong grounding in the 80s!
