Technicolor Paradise: Rhum Rhapsodies and Other Exotic Delights
This compilation is without question one of the best releases of the year. Again I need to bring up my time in Palm Springs, because they're really couldn't be anything better to listen to than a collection of rarities you can most definitely envision Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Dean Martin, Dinah Shore and so many others listening to as they lounged next to their modern pools at their sprawling Mid-Century estates in the 50s and 60s. This is tiki heaven right here, and lavishly packaged by the dustbin gods at Chicago's Numero Group. Do not hesitate even a second to pick this up. Regrets are so 2017.
