From “Music From Outer Space” by Ken Saari: Another 1958 release, Ron Goodwin's "Music in Orbit" on Capitol, was recorded with great fidelity in England with a huge orchestra. Like Baxter's "Space Escapade," "Music in Orbit" was also a suite of original compositions with a lighthearted outer-space theme. However, most of the selections, with titles such as "Jumping Jupiter" and "Martians on Parade" are perhaps a bit less sophisticated. In fact, "Sally the Satellite" sounds very much like the title piece of Goodwin's previous, strictly earth-bound album, "Music for Swinging Sweethearts." There are no "space effects" such as exaggerated reverberation or any other electronically produced sounds. Although the music is less cohesive and appealing than that of "Space Escapade" in general, it is not bad overall. About one third of the album is wonderful; especially the first two selections and a glimmering, rapturous piece of true outer-space music on the second side entitled "The Milky Way." The cover of the album should receive special merit. The front is a marvelous vision of a rocket blasting off from a moonscape, with the Earth pictured in the starry background. This moonscape is pure fantasy, and it features white mountains and an arch-like rock formation. The back of the cover has a bizarre drawing that looks like a doodle depicting some sort of fantastic daydream. Incidentally, this album was released under the title, "Out of This World!" on the Parlophone label in England with a totally different cover picturing the firey takeoff of a rocket.

GRADE: VINYL: NM, appears un-played, some dust.

GRADE: COVER: 8/10, superb save for semi-circular crease on fron that is only visible if held at an angle to the source of light; suitable for framing IMO.

GRADING: Records and covers are graded to Goldmine Standards to the best of my ability (covers are graded on a scale of one to ten: ten = perfect, one = most hideous piece of junk you could imagine). I cannot playgrade records as I currently have no turntable. If I mention its sound, it’s because I playgraded it before I put it in storage.
