When I saw this up for auction, I jumped upon it like a bum on a ham sandwich. Yes, it is in a format which is sliding into obsolescence, which is actually part of the charm and allure. Digital downloads sadly lack the liner notes and drink recipes for which the Ultra Lounge series is famed.

Images arise not only of a Tropical fantasy place, but of a time when people frequented lounges to escape the Rat Race, dance, and imbibe. If you can, grab a copy the next time it pops up for sale. Then relax, kick off your shoes, flip through the brilliantly written Liner Notes, and transport yourself to a bygone and simpler era. It's time well spent.Read full review
