Volume 6: Rhapsodesia (Capitol 36128)
Provocative and passionate mood music from a time when seduction meant candlelight and cocktails. With 18 musical aphrodisiacs including "Girl Talk", "Tenderly", "Serenata" and "Ebb Tide." So slip into something comfortable and pour yourself another martini -- the night is young. Sexy!

The fifties perfected the art of the fake front. Paperback novels boasted wanton harlots in situations that never occurred in the text. And record albums slyly insinuated that listening to the music would teleport the bachelor babe-side by happy hour.
If this was music of seduction, it paradoxically arrived at a time when rock and roll records were first lobbed on the bonfire, when literary masterworks were impounded at our nation's borders. The salacious was hopelessly confused with seditious. We were looking for love, but it had to come in cryptic packaging.
