Description

ARTIST:.....Les Baxter

TITLE:.....Space Escapade

LABEL:....Capitol T 968 (mono) There is a STEREO strip at very top, but the LP is MONO.

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]

PLAYLIST:
Side 1:Shooting Star... Moonscape... Mr. Robot... The City... A Distant Star... The Commute...
Side 2:Winds of Sirius... The Other Side of the Moon... Somewhere in Space... Earth Light... The Lady is Blue... Saturday Night on Saturn...

RECORD GRADING:
(SS) STILL SEALED.....never opened, still in original shrink wrap.....
(M-) MINT.....like new, no noticeable flaws whatsover.....
(VG++) VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS.....slightly less than mint, showing the slightest bit of wear.....
(VG+) VERY GOOD PLUS .....still in great condition but showing a bit more wear.....
(VG) VERY GOOD.....still acceptable but showing quite a bit of wear.....
A + or - (plus or minus) denotes slightly better or slightly less than a grade.

No Reserve.
