Music, Martinis & Memories
LP (Item 470422) Capitol, 1954 — Condition: Very Good
Related searches
A real classic from Jackie Gleason – and a record that's probably the most outward statement of his big reputation as a booze hound! The set's got all the sadness and melancholy you'd expect from the title – a wonderfully dreamy batch of instrumental tunes that are about as lush as lush can be (and there's us, dropping another reference to Gleason's personal life!) The record's virtually the blueprint for mood music in the mid 50s – and titles include "The Song Is Ended", "I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good", "Once In A While", "Time On My Hands", "My Ideal", "I Remember You", "It Could Happen To You", "I Can't Get Started" and "I'll Be Seeing You". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Very Good
- Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
- May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
- May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
- May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
- This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Brit easy exotica!

A pretty great album of groovy tracks from Toots!
