Bobby Christian & His Orchestra – Strings for a Space Age LP Audio Fidelity AFLP 1959 Space Age Pop
A curated listing from an enthusiast who values clean gear, honest details, and taking care of the things that take care of us.
📘 About This Item
Bobby Christian & His Orchestra's Strings for a Space Age, Audio Fidelity AFLP 1959 — a wonderfully period piece of Space Age orchestral pop built around lush strings, unusual instrumentation and an original programmatic “Space Suite.”
Side One features standards including “Midnight Sun,” “Out of This World,” “Blue Star,” “Autumn in New York,” “Out of Nowhere,” and “How High the Moon.” Side Two is devoted to the Space Suite, with movements including “The Call (Theme From Space),” “Preparation,” “Count-Down,” “Flight Into Orbit & Empyrean,” “Re-Entry,” and “Finale.”
