There was bound to come a time when the cocktail glass tintinnabulations of Bob Thompson would become fashionable again. That day has arrived.
—Liner Notes: History of Space Age Pop
Bob Thompson's recordings are crafted with skill and expertise, humor and sensitivity. Their dynamic range is most impressive and their varied moods show a man of refined taste and abilities. I join in saluting this overlooked genius of American Pop Music.
