Trust In Me ... LP CTI/A&M, 1968. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $14.99
An excellent little groover from that great period where CTI was affiliated with A&M, this record is the kind of pop/jazz/easy listening crossover stuff that's been such a hit with the loungecore fans over the years.

Billy Mure —
String of Trumpets ... LP Everest, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A tough Billy Mure album to find. His wild guitar style here is accompanied by a blasting brace of trumpets. The groove is kind of Latin, but with lots of nice twangs by Billy. Tracks include "Sentimental Journey", "Memories Of You", "Bumper To Bumper", "Dancing ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Cal Tjader —
Prophet ... LP Verve, 1968. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
One of the last albums that Cal Tjader ever cut for Verve – and it's also one of the best! The great Joao Donato's sitting in on piano, and the set has a beautiful mix of Brazilian and Latin grooves, with added Verve groovy touches thrown in for good measure! Don Sebesky did the ...

Best Of Lord Buckley (Elektra) ... LP Elektra, 1951/Late 60s. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!

Percy Faith —
Music Of Christmas (with bonus tracks) ... CD Columbia/Real Gone, 1959. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
A set that has the lush Percy Faith approach turned towards a host of seasonal tunes – a rising blend of horns and orchestrations that come across here with maybe even a more moving quality than on some of Percy's other albums! The tunes are mostly familiar carols, served up with full ... (Holiday Music, Now Sound) read more CD
Herb Alpert —
Christmas Wish (180 gram pressing) ... LP Herb Alpert, 2017. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $22.99 24.98
A nice little Holiday album from trumpeter Herb Alpert – whose 60s set with the Tijuana Brass might well be one of our favorite Christmas albums of all time!

Living Guitars/RCA/Real Gone, 1969/1970. New Copy ... $16.99 18.98
Two sweet instrumental Christmas albums – both from the RCA pop paradise of the 60s! First up are the Living Guitars – that instrumental lineup that took 60s guitar modes from the pop world, and set them up with a bit more of a bachelor pad/easy listening motif – guitar out front ...

Paul Mauriat —
Noel (with bonus tracks) ... CD Philips/Vocalion (UK), 1967. New Copy ... $18.99
A rare Christmas album from French maestro Paul Mauriat – presented with a style that's maybe a bit more lush and scented with the season than some of his other albums of the time!

Frank DeVol & The Rainbow Strings —
Old Sweet Songs Of Christmas ... CD Columbia/Real Gone, 1960. New Copy ... $12.99 13.98

David Rose —
David Rose Christmas Album ... CD Capitol/Real Gone, 1968. New Copy ... $9.99 12.98
An obscure Christmas set from David "The Stripper" Rose – and one that's delivered with a lot more sensitivity for the Holidays than you might expect!

George Shearing —
Latin Lace ... LP Capitol, 1958. Near Mint- ... $4.99
One of George Shearing's wonderful Latin LPs for Capitol – a wonderful record filled with complicated changes that go way beyond the usual mambo and cha cha grooves – and a mix of vibes, piano, and percussion that went onto inspire countless other groups at the time! The tracks have a ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono rainbow label promo pressing. Cover has a promo sticker on front.)
Joe Pass —
Sign Of The Times ... LP World Pacific, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
This album's got a very telling title – as Joe's guitar is working here with bigger arrangements by Bob Florence, backings that go for a mod 60s sound! Florence uses a range of instrumentation on the set, plus some occasional vocal choruses, all in a mode that's got some very nice mid 60s LA ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Panama Francis —
Exploding Drums! ... LP Epic, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $34.99
An album of drum-heavy tracks recorded by drummer Panama Francis – who at this point could boast a long career working with jazz luminaries like Duke Ellington, Lucky Millinder, and Cab Calloway.

Johnny Richards —
Wide Range ... LP Capitol, 1957. Near Mint- ... $3.99
A killer album from Johnny Richards – possibly the best he ever cut!

Marty Gold —
Wired For Sound ... LP Vik, 1956. Very Good+ ... $4.99
"Current Supplied By Marty Gold" – or so reads the cover – as this is one of Gold's most dynamic albums of the 50s! The production is really great, with lots of use of effects and echo – to transform ordinary instrumental tunes into mod hi-fi affairs! The feel here is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

10 Saxophones & 2 Basses ... LP Mercury, Early 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
