New music for the Bachelor pad
I visited the local bi-yearly Record Fair yesterday and bought some albums in the easy listening category which I thought I'd share with you good people. If you know anything interesting about the albums please use the comment function below. Also, feel free to tell me which album you are interested in seeing posted here on the site in a near future.
I haven't been able to find a date of publication on all of the albums, but all of them are in very good condition.

My name is Chris and I live in Sweden. I love the 50s and 60s lifestyle and design. I am very fascinated by the architecture of the period too, for instance googie, modernism, the work of Joseph Eichler, John Lautner and Arne Jacobsen's international style. I have a large archive with space-age, library, bossa, cocktail, retro soundtracks and exotica music. I also believe that things were better in the old days.

Not to mention the cover of the album. It's a brilliant night time photo of Times Square / 42 Street taken from a building. The neon lights looks great.

Personally, I bet for the Norman Luboff Choir one. I' like listening to it. I have discovered right now your blog and it's wonderful. Nice pics. If you're interested on this kind of music, you can visit my blog. This week is featuring a Xavier Cugat album!!! Enjoy it!

I discovered Conniff a few weeks ago his early stuff was great and his later stuff patchy but some of its interesting. I can hear his influence in Kaempferts music.I'm looking forward to hearing the one you scored. There's a couple of early ones on my site too.

the martin denny seems to be rare in blogsville or anywhere else for that matter. It's non-exotica for Denny and actually pretty hip cool jazz. I've been keeping an eye out for it for quite a spell, but I did manage to find it's predecessor, A Taste Of Honey, at Xtabay
