Thanks for More for Les. I've been hoping to track down Skins!

Please keep the space-age-pop-a-comin'!

Those two from 1962 were awesome.

Great Blog.

My father had many Les Baxter records in the 1950s, familiar music around our house, thanks for posting these. Two others that I remember from that time -- "I Love Paris" by Michael Legrand (an LP by that title) and "Aventures In The Sun", and LP by Percy Faith. - J

Had these two on vinyl for ages. Should have just waited for mp3 technology to be invented!

Just discovered your site & I'm checking out "Forbidden Planet," the earliest Earth Wind & Fire, and Supreme Beings of Leisure. Dude, you rule.
