Here's another gem from the HPB bargain bin. I'd never heard of Ethel Smith, but I love organ music and I couldn't resist the hilarious album cover - it just cracks me up! I have since found out who Ethel Smith was (good write-up on Space Age Pop), and have added this album as a must-play for my housewarming party. This is a great album to play at your next happy hour or cocktail party!

Thanks for this LP. Lately, I've been looking for organ LPs and when I saw "Moanin'" on this one, I just had to have it (Rhoda Scott does a great "Moanin'" on YouTube and I just got a Rhoda LP where she does Ethel's "Tico Tico").
And I also downloaded your Buddy Cole LP a while back. Thanks for that one too.
Hola! Tico Tico, one of my favs. Thank you!
Thanks for the Ethel Smith LP. I just started a blog myself uploading out-of-print LP's. You have a great blog. I enjoy it a lot!
