Andre Kostelanetz and His Orchestra: Lure of the Tropics (Columbia Masterworks A-1099, 1955)

For Christmas I hope to get some serious record cleaning stuff, but until then, please enjoy the snaps, crackles and pops on this lovely piece of exotica.

Here's the wikipedia entry on Andre Kostelanetz, "one of the pioneers of easy listening music." Very interesting music history.

There musta originally been three 7" discs included with this sleeve but I only have two. Presented are all the songs on my copy that don't skip. I picked this up at Vintage Freak over in Hurst for a nominal fee. Totally worth whatever I paid for it - probably under $5.00.
