I just received Songs for the Jet Set from eBay. If you are looking for authentic 60's/70's jet set music this might not be for you. Instead, this is a compilation of quirky, kitschy music that evokes that 60's/70's era when people still dressed up to go flying. Most of the songs have a happy, carefree feel to them. The standouts are "Leslie Phillips in Santiago" and "Kites Are Fun" by Tomorrow's World, "Barbarella" and "We Can Fly" by Loveletter, and the fun, sexy "I Am a Kitten" by the Fantastic Everlasting Gobstoppers.
The only song that doesn't seem to fit is "Schoolgirl Psychedelia" by the Fantastic Everlasting Gobstoppers. It has an edgy electronic sound to it that reminds me more of the 80's. I like it, but it just doesn't seem to fit with this collection.
If I have a cocktail party I'm playing this CD in the background. But, since it's only 30-40 minutes long, I may have to buy the other CDs in the collection - there are two more volumes of Songs for the Jet Set.
