just got this last night--very interesting! don't expect _soothing sounds
for baby_ though. this is a collection of unreleased noodlings and
advertising jingles (some both with and without the voiceovers--one of
which i swear sounds like Ken Nordine) from the 50s & 60s. it's still VERY
COOL, as is the booklet (more like a book!) the CDs come in, but be
prepared for some serious kitsch.
