Description
ARTIST:.....Les Baxter
TITLE:.....Space Escapade
LABEL:....Capitol ST 968 (stereo)
YEAR:.....1958
CONDITION:
Record: SIDE ONE: VG (some surface scuffing and surface marks)
Record: SIDE TWO: VG (some surface scuffing and surface marks)
Cover: VG+ (no split seams, several small tears upper left, no ring wear, no smudges )
NOTES:.....A real period piece, Space Escapade is a definitive slice of lounge/bachelor pad music. The music, of course, is a bit dated, although it certainly shows off Baxter's chops as a big-band leader. One reason to get the record, however, is the cover — two astronauts holding goblets of exotic (and potentially lethal) cocktails, surrounded by three very attractive Martian women, and in the background, a silhouette of a rocket. All cloaked in dry ice. This record has sold for decades on the cover artwork alone, and you'll see why if (and when) you pick it up. [Allmusic.com]
