Surfin' with a twist

Twistin' 'N' Twangin' — Duane Eddy (1962)
Duane Eddy was already a "show business legend at 23!" According to the back of this album. He reminds me a lot of Dick Dale and the Deltones, part of the Surf Guitar movement of the 60s. Anyway, Twistin' 'N' Twangin' is absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

Mr. Acker Bilk With The Leon Young String Chorale — Mood Fore Love (1966)
I mostly got this because Mr. Bilk had such a reluctant look on his face there. His eyes say "Who let this crazy b!#¢& into my house? Make her go away!" The other reason I got it was... it looked like 60s jazz with a clarinet and I recognised a few songs, so I figured it wouldn't be so bad.
Here's the best track — Theme from Madame "X"
