“From Another World”

img_0255.JPG

“From Another World” by Sid Bass on RCA.   A space-age bachelor pad staple; this one pressed in Argentina I think.       Promising strange, other-worldly sounds and far-out music, the tracks here are mostly dull big band arrangements that begin and end with some “spacey,” electronic tones.   I like the colorful sound waves on top of the black and white photo.
