Of course it's possible to love them all - they are so different but there's still that Les Baxter playfulness and outernational feel to all of them. I love Space Escapade too, wish I owned a copy of the stereo LP.

The great thing about the question "Which is your favorite Les Baxter album?" is that they span such an incredible range. It's possible to love all of them at different times and for different reasons. That being said, however, I guess my all time favorite is "Space Escapade". I'm kinda nuts about "'Round the World with Les Baxter" as well, though. It's just SO INTERNATIONAL!

Thank you! Been trying to style this group page for a while, but Last.fm doesn't allow me to use standard HTML-code, don' know why it can be used on other groups. Any ideas? :) Also, thank you Royalton for clearing up the release year!
