Les Baxter - Thinking of You (1954)
As promised here is my first of (hopefully) many more vinyl shares. First up is a real classic by Les Baxter. Found it on a auction site here in Sweden for about $6, what a bargain. Although this isn't a Exotica record per se, it is still very recognisable if you have heard Les Baxter's work before. Most of the songs on it are loungy and soft - perfect for a rainy night in front of the fire place.

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.
