Bob
Thompson (1924-) has been called "an
overlooked genius of American pop music."
He is most famous for the Space Age Bachelor
Pad records he created in the late 1950s.
These one-of-a-kind
discs feature a singular sound that evokes
cocktail glasses, swingin' guys and gals,
and all-night mischief. You might imagine
"Austin Powers" or Hugh Hefner
putting Bob Thompson records on their
hi-fis. The albums include radically rehipped
standards and aring originals—spiced
up with purring girls, mad percussion,
or propulsive Atomic Age sound effects.
The hot legs, cocktails, and rocket ships
make the Living Stereo LP covers
stand out.
