Les Baxter - Calcutta

Track 06 from Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 3: Space Capades.

I remember skating in a dance tryout to this song in 1961... I was 12 years old and I had the most fun I've ever had in a skating ⛸️ rink that day!!☺️

So many great tunes in the late 50's/early 60's... This is one of the best from that era...

I once owned the entire collection (still got a few) and I pawned them for pennies on the dollars that I spent. That collection is now flying off the shelf somewhere.

Love it. Very kitschy, just like the album "Space Capades" is ... and sometimes you just want something like that. This screams nostalgia to me. I remember getting into the Ultra Lounge series twenty years ago (yikes, lol) and just enjoying it tremendously.

I don't know why, but this has 'feel good' quality to it... for me anyway 😊 makes me smile xx

Great piece of music. More people should listen to this.

[richarnold]

This tune has what most of the mainstream music we have nowadays lacks. A melody.

[celeslunasco]

What a Co Incident !!!! I'm From West Bengal, Calcutta !!!! But, Our Calcutta Is Now Kolkata !

[ryanpfahler]

I randomly heard this in an "Arrested Development" compilation and I instantly found it quite charming and nostalgiac.

[roberetrodgers]

THIS WAS A VERY TALENTED MUSICIAN AND SHOULD BE RESPECTED FOR HIS VISION AS ALL MUSICIANS HAVE VISIONS AS TO WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR IN A SOUND AND MR. BAXTER FOUND HIS AND HIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND ALLOWS FOR MUCH PLEASURE FOR FROM A LOCAL MUSICIAN

[valiantthor]

Memories of my little brother Oscar in the 1960's watching his favorite show, Hocus Pocus, and this was the theme song.

[Cantbuyathrill]

A little kitsch never hurts anybody, it mixes it up just the right amount.

[ryantracey]

Always puts me in the mood for the Western Estate’s Wintertacular.

[Bellaozz]

instant happiness, thats what this is
