Bora Bora was a romantic film directed by Ugo Liberatore filmed in 1968 and released in 1970. This is an excellent soundtrack by the renowned Les Baxter, and exceptional in that it is a real return to his exotica sound. There is a 1960's vibe that makes his lush sound more modern, but it is classic Baxter magic otherwise. There is a good copy of this on Xtabay's World, it is a 128 kbps rip direct from vinyl and it is best for vinyl purists. I remastered his copy so that the eq brings out the highs a bit more, adjusted volumes and stereo seperation and added fades to the end of tracks. LAME assigned a higher bitrate to these remasters, but it is audibly the same as the 128kpbs version. No disrespect is intended to the amazing Xtabay blog, and I will remove this if the original ripper or author wishes.

This sounds really good thanks. This to me is my favourite Baxter LP. It's a shame that that the audio level drops in track two as on the original posting. Pity somebody can't supply you with the original LP! Many thanks again for your hard work on this.
There is the audio level drop and a skip that I did not fix. Hopefully I will get my own copy of the record someday and do this again, it is a great album.
You've got a really cool site. What a mix! Many thanks.

Beautiful. Thank you. :)
Wow! Just when I thought I'd heard all of the best exotica that Les Baxter put out, I'm amazed to discover another gem! Thanks for the great audio quality on this one.
Jonathon, that's exactly what I thought when I heard this album.
The link site has been stolen by the US FBI:-(
Yeah, I will find my CD and share this again soon, so keep an eye out for it.
