Trumpety magic from Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – a record that's known not only for its classic cover of a model dipped in whipped cream, but also for it's tremendously groovy groove!

Insanely wonderful work by Bacharach – in a way that we can hardly begin to describe (but we'll certainly try!)

Hard to tell if these are new versions of songs, or simply ones lifted from Barry's UA soundtracks – but from the notes and the music, the album seems to be a unique one.

Capitol, Early 60s. Very Good- ... $3.99
Not as all-out exotic as some of Les' earlier Capitol albums, but still pretty darn great!

Capitol, Late 50s. Very Good- ... $3.99
Dreamy work from Les Baxter – featuring his chorus and orchestra over string-heavy arrangements that match the midnight sea setting on the cover.
