Ray Conniff - The Ray Conniff Hi-Fi Companion

Here's a treat - if you prefer vocalisations (da da das and oo oo be-dos) instead of lyrics, then this one's for you. 

Back in 1960 Hi-Fis were obviously feeling a bit lonely as nobody could fit into the room in which they were installed, so Ray Conniff took pity and brought out 'Hi-Fi Companion' which features selected tracks from albums he'd done up to that time. He chose to omit tracks from albums he'd not yet done, but we'll forgive him for that as this is a corker.

Batchelors of 1960 soon found that this was the perfect accompaniment to drinking and smoking far too much, but with the veneer of class which this music provides, the resulting enlarged liver and emphysema were deemed worthwhile.

I found it difficult to find a copy of sufficient quality, so this particular upload was pieced together using CD quality tracks from those aforementioned albums so that you too can drink and smoke to excess whilst you pretend to be Don Draper.
