Description
I picked up this rarity at an estate sale here in San Francisco a few weeks ago. WHiTE GODDESS by Frank Hunter and his Orchestra on Kapp. This was pressed in 1959. This deep groove Stereo LP happens to be one of the "Holy Grail " discs that die-hard aficionados of EXOTICA and Space Age LOUNGE music spend years looking for. here's a little description from the excellent SpaceAge pop site "Frank Hunter's White Goddess is one of the incredibly great and incredibly hard-to-find Holy Grail albums that die-hard exotica fans spend years looking for. Marty Manning's Twilight Zone is another. Like Manning, Hunter was an unsung hero of the great days of corporate popular music production, overlooked by musical histories that focus only on the many stars they made sound good. And like Manning, he might have been completely forgotten were it not for the band of exotica fans who discovered one remarkable album that stood out from the rest of his professional works.
Like Manning's Twilight Zone, Hunter's White Goddess combines original compositions and standards, orchestrated and arranged for an unusual combination of instruments. Like Twilight Zone, it incorporates space age pop's favorite odd couple, the Ondioline and wordless vocals, as well as other space age pop regulars like chromatic bongos, Chinese bells, and the buzzimba. It's something of a cross-over between jungle exotica and space music and right up there with the very best in both categories."
The cover is in VG+ condition very minimal ringwear noticeable but spine and seams are fine. The vinyl is in VG+ condition meaning fully glossy but some light hairline scuffs can be seen (but NOT felt) under bright light.
