The Stars in Stereo

It is football season, which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the topic of discourse on this post.

The reason I mention football season is that it is time to un-bury all the control cables and remotes for the satellite dishes so I can watch my home-area football team, the Seattle Seahawks.

Oh, ok, for those of you not in the US, it's my hometown GRIDIRON team.

In the moving of stuff to get the dishes operating, I found a stack of British-pressing stuff, which I'll encode up and share with you in the coming days.

This one is basically a sampler of Capitol stereo stuff, circa 1957, recorded in the US and pressed and distributed in the UK by EMI. There are some goodies on here, and some blah-ness... but overall, it's an enjoyable little way to sample the buffet of great lounge stuff that Capitol had available in the late 50s. Plus, the pressing of this LP is the usual UK greatness, good high-quality vinyl, and was gotten from the thrift store in pretty pristine shape. Frank Sinatra, Harry James, Les Baxter, Nat Cole, Jackie Gleason, Les Brown, Fred Waring, Nelson Riddle, Gordon Jenkins, and Stan Kenton all add their touches to this star-studded stereophonic salute to sonorous sensuality.

Thake THAT, all you wanna-be PR mavens! (grinning wide)
