Notes: As
foretold by the front cover this record is, "A fresh contrast
of melodic strings and swinging vocal patterns by…".
And that sums it up pretty well. You get those strings,
you know the ones. So sweet and clear that the treacle forms spontaneously
in the air about you. But to try to balance out the equation the
vocals in a male chorus configuration fight to bring a touch of
swingin' melody to the party. But the real reason I picked this
one up is the incredible cover art. The blissful angel resting
upon the back of the conniving Satan with his horns and crimson
robes. I'm sure this is patterned after some "old master's" work
that I can't quite recall at the moment, but the most remarkable
coincidence is that The Supersuckers, which I owned first, have
copied this cover for their The
Sacrilicious Sounds of… record. Small friggin' world
it is, I'll tell you what. This one's is going up on the wall of
the Tiki bar for all to enjoy.
