Barefoot In The Park - Neal Hefti

Blues For Paul
Barefoot In The Park
Neal Hefti
Dot Records DLP 25803
1967

If anyone had his finger on the pulse of mid-60s light pop it was Neal Hefti. He created several great space age albums including, Batman and Hefti In Gotham City. Both of those albums are available on CD. This one isn't.

As a soundtrack for a more conventionally themed film your will hear conventional sounding tracks on this LP. But there is still plenty of the cool space age Hefti to hold your interest. Light and playful stuff.

  2. You comment that the soundtrack of Barefoot In The Park is available on CD. How and where do I obtain a copy? I have had the LP for many years but haven't so far managed to find it on CD.

    1. Batman and Hefti In Gotham City were available at the time of this posting, not this set.
