Bob Thompson - On The Rocks! (1959)

Bob Thompson - On The Rocks!

   Why not pour yourself a space age cocktail, pull out the 8TRACK and lay back on the shag carpet and dream away to the ultimate bachelor pad album !

  This may be my personal favourite of all Space Age Pop albums ever !  Wow......huge spacious sound, with clever instrumentation not unlike the Enoch Light Persuasive Percussion albums, with great vocal harmonies and a very dated 50's and 60's sound.  This album sounds very dated !   and that is part of the magic for me !
Another very cool part of this album (and the other early Victor albums) is that Bob Thompson blended well known songs along with his own songs on these recordings.
