“I guess it’s about 35 years ago when one afternoon I found this jewel in my hometown’s only record store. It’s the original from 1959, the shop’s owner looked happy to sell it, as I remember. It must have been there on his shelf since that time, ignored by everyone. As I was very young I’d never heard the name “Lightnin’ Hopkins” before and I only took a look at the Blues records ’cause there were these older guys hanging around the Jazz and Classical records giving me no chance at all. I loved the cover from the first sight and the music astonished me. I took the record home and it’s still one of my favorites after all these years and thousands of LPs that came after it.” — K. Reineke, Germany

Incredible! Arranged and conducted by Stuart Phillips and his Orchestra Harry Revel’s “Music From Outer Space” (1955) MGM Records   Revel’s previous three albums (“Music Out of the Moon,” “Perfume Set to Music,” and “Music for Peace of Mind”) were classic space age/exotica Theremin records, this one leaves out the theremin and is mostly wordless chorus with Orchestra.
