Zu-Zu-Zoom away through the galaxies with this collection of holiday favorites from the past, present, and future. The Master of Space Age Bachelor Pad Music - Juan Garcia Esquivel! - is here to add his special flair to your Christmas season. Mingle 'round your tinsel-draped Sputnik, flick on the twinkling lights, fix up a libation if you like, and let Esquivel's otherworldly sounds transport you into Santa's saucer, high in the stratosphere on Christmas eve. Esquivel recorded these yuletide tracks between 1959 and 1962. The majority of them are culled from the '59 release, "The Merriest of Christmas Pops", a fairly elusive Christmas LP that featured 6 tracks by Esquivel, and 6 by Ray Martin. Featured on some of the tracks was the vocal quintet The Skip Jacks, which boasted the vocal talents of a young Stella Stevens (along with Estelle Mann, Morris Redding, Ron Martin, and leader Bill Bronson). Also included in the collection is a heretofore "lost" Esquivel recording, "I Feel Marvelous" (from the Broadway musical, "Redhead"). This was originally released as the B-side of the 45rpm single of "Whatchamacallit" [which you can hear on BarNone's release, "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music"]. This rare recording is so obscure, even Esquivel himself had forgotten about recording it. While not a traditional holiday tune, we hope it will add to the spirit and cheer contained herein. Feliz Navidad, baby, and Feliz Aņo Nuevo, too. SLEIGH RIDE In a Pousse-Cafe glass, carefully layer the following ingrediants in order.
