SELECTED SPACE AGE POP TRACKS Here, for your listening pleasure or pain, are an idiosyncratic sample from my own collection of space age pop.I've chosen these tracks for their novelty, rarity, beauty, or all of the above. I'm mindful of the fact that the RIAA is roaming the Web these days hoping to chase all MP3 sharers into eternal damnation. THE SONGS OF SPACE AGE POP MUSIC One thing you notice quickly when you start collecting exotica and space age pop music is the astonsihing frequency with which certain songs were covered.These tunes are the standards of space age pop music--the benchmarks, if you will, by which arranging and instrumental virtuousity and invention can be measured.JO ANN CASTLE
