Pete Rugolo - Music For Hi-Fi Bugs


 Oh, hell yeah. Finally ran across a copy of this in decent shape without some moron wanting an arm and leg for it. Here is a 5 dollar copy, recorded on the first spin after a bit of cleaning.
 Who the hell wouldn't snatch this up for the cover alone?  Just turns out the music is actually pretty cool as well. You know in the Pete Rugolo west coast laid back way.


1. For Hi-Fi Bugs
2. Once In Awhile
3. Fawncy Meeting You
4. These Foolish Things
5. Later Team
6. Oscar's and Pete's Blues
7. Dream of You
8. Snowfall

EmArcy  MG 36082    1956

Fun. Somehow, the $5 version always shows up AFTER I've paid through the nose. Practicing patience. Thanks for the share!

Hi, I came by your site when I was trying to find something else. Funny how that works, eh?

I know of Pete Rugolo's television work, most notably with Boris Karloff's Thriller (1961) but I've never heard his jazz. Thanks for posting this, I'm gonna check it out!

And you're right, with a cover like that, how could he go wrong?

Thanks again!

One of the first LPs I ever bought was a Pete Rugolo record.

This is classic Rugolo stuff! He did a lot of arranging for Stan Kenton & Hollywood movie scores. Those associations come through loud & clear.

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm really enjoying the music.

Any chance of a scan of the back cover so we can get the performance credits for the band? I can't seem to find them anywhere on line.
