RCA, 1958. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A mellow album of Latin tunes, offered as sort of a "break" from dancing – and done very much in the easy style of Luis Arcaraz's other 50s RCA recordings!

David Axelrod —
Song Of Innocence ... LP Capitol/Now Again, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
One of a handful of amazing albums recorded by David Axelrod towards the end of the 60s – really stunning, genre-breaking music that was years ahead of its time – and which has only finally been getting its due in more recent decades! At the time of the record, Axelrod was a house ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Fantastic reissue – new remastering, and a big booklet of notes on the music!)
Liberty, Late 50s. Very Good ... $24.99
A beautiful little vocal set – and not nearly as gimmicky as you'd expect! The album's "presented" by Martin Denny, but overall it's a pretty straight jazz set – featuring vocals by Japanese/Hawaiian Ethel, sung in a cool and moody style that's got lots of 50s west coast ...

Kapp/Elemental (Spain), 1965. New Copy ... $12.99
A great batch of early work from Burt Bacharach – one of the first albums to be issued under his own name, and proof that Mr B was head and shoulders above most of the other arrangers and composers of his time! At some level, the style here is a bit more traditional than some of Burt's later ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Capitol, Late 50s. Very Good ... $14.99
One of the coolest, grooviest records we've ever heard from the great Les Baxter – and a real standout set, even amidst his other exotica albums for Capitol!

(Mono rainbow label pressing. Cover has a small split on the top seam.)
AIP, 1970. Sealed ... $34.99
Not classic exotica from Les – but some fantastic soundtrack work with a groovy late 60s feel!

Capitol, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $6.99
Les Baxter still pretty much in his older sweeter mode – recorded slightly before the exotica years, but in a manner that still shows him as a very capable arranger and conductor. Titles include "Atlantis", "Tropicana", "Julie", "Cornflakes", and " ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Rainbow label pressing.)
Capitol, Late 50s. Very Good ... $4.99
Dreamy work from Les Baxter – featuring his chorus and orchestra over string-heavy arrangements that match the midnight sea setting on the cover.

Capitol, Late 50s. Very Good ... $7.99
A landmark album of exotica! Tamboo was cut with Les' orchestra and chorus – and it's a swirling mass of tribal drums, singing strings, and moody voices that would forever change the face of easy listening. Les' compositions are astounding – filled with all the sophsitication of a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original turquoise label pressing. Cover has half split seams and a mark from tape removal on front.)
Alshire, 1970. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A later album, but one that still features Les doing some great Latiny bits – heading up the 101 Strings ensemble, for a sweeping and groovy kind of sound!

Diplomat, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Nothing fancy – but a great set of bossa nova jazz tunes from a group that was probably just a fake studio knock off! Don't let that put you off them, though – because the combo's a great one, with a strong sax player in the lead, and a mixture of guitar and percussion on the rhythm, ...

Galt MacDermot completists take note – and Brit jazz fans too!

Some of the greatest work you could ever find by Lenny Bruce! This set is a brilliant re-creation of a live show that Lenny cut at midnight at Carnegie Hall on February 4, 1961.

Warner, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $1.99
A great live recording by Lenny Bruce – and a rich document of the level of persecution he was made to feel from the US legal system!

Sick Humor Of Lenny Bruce ... LP Fantasy, Late 50s. Good+ ... $1.99
Possibly the most famous of all the Lenny Bruce albums on Fantasy – as it's the one that has a crazy image of Lenny having a picnic in a cemetery!

Chakiris made his big fame in the film version of West Side Story, but we've always been bigger fans of his work in Les Demoiselles De Rochefort.

Stepheny, Late 50s. Very Good ... $6.99
Very cool work from percussionist Bobby Christian – a set that's a bit of jazz, and a bit of bachelor pad – the latter of which you might have guessed from the cover! (Jazz, Now Sound) LP, Vinyl record album
