Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White

Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White
And 9 Other Magnificent Hits
Tops 9749
1963

Latin effort from Tops. Tops released a slew of these records featuring this "star burst" shape on the cover.

Curiously, each song credits Dave Pell with different wording.

Dave Pell's wiki page.

The album seems somewhat obscure, but you can find all of the tracks offered online by download. Although you would not know that the tunes came off this album, because you have to keyword songs to find them and you don't see the original cover art. In other words, it would be impossible to assemble all the original songs together if you didn't have an album, or the cover image above to go by. Again, vinyl seems to be the best way to collect music as far as I'm concerned.

The music is peppy, a touch space age and the engineering is very good.
