I have a nice collection of exotica.I have something like all but three of the known "golden age" records of the 50s and 60s,as well as jukebox mini-LPs,and some of Les Baxter's records not commercially released,like "The Sound of Selling",so I was pretty excited when I found a mint minus Capitol Les Baxter lacquer at a local record show today for $7.00. This may be an early version of the "Space Escapade".It says "Music From Outer Space" and Les Baxter,on a Capitol label that looks just like this. http://www.popsike.com/Les-Baxter-Jungle-Jazz-Capitol-acetate-US-1959/300580858594.html except it says Form 5029 Rev 8/54 on the bottom.It is double sided. There is no master number,but it says "Proof ref" instead at bottom. Does anybody know about the recording of this album?Were there working versions that differed from the commercially issued one? While we're at it,can anyone provide a discography of all of Baxter's records not commercially released,such as those made for various company's ad campaigns? Thanks in advanceRoger
