"1LP,
green
vinyl,
ItÕs
1970,
and
famed
Exotica
composer
Les
Baxter
is
tempted
back
into
the
studio
to
record
an
album
that
marks
his
return
to
the
genre
that
defined
his
fame.
The
resulting
release,
Que
Mango!,
is
an
album
that
perfectly
captures
the
exotic
spirit
of
the
50Õs
and
yet
enhances
that
spirit
with
small
sparkling
glints
of
the
60Õs
Surf
movement,
and
the
70Õs
Funk
rising.
Now
considered
something
of
a
Ôlost
classicÕ
of
BaxterÕs
work,
the
album
finally
gets
a
deserved
re-issue
for
RSD
2022
Much
had
happened
in-between
BaxterÕs
iconic
Ritual
Of
The
Savage
LP
from
1951
and
Que
Mango!,
he
was
a
much
in
demand
film
composer
during
the
1960s
and
the
skills
that
he
had
honed
in
the
intervening
years
allowed
Baxter
to
make
a
triumphant
return
to
the
Exotica
style
and
produce
an
album
so
colourful
and
vivid
that
it
would
have
blasted
everything
away,
had
it
been
released
in
the
late
50Õs.
This
release
is
remastered
from
the
original
tapes,
is
presented
on
coloured
vinyl,
and
includes
some
carefully
selected
bonus
tracks."
