In 1972 Les Baxter teamed up with Yma Sumac and the result, the album Miracles has been very hard to get. According to Don Pierson at sunvirgin.com, "It was NOT produced by Les Baxter nor did he ever produce an album of Yma Sumac's. On Miracles, he was the band leader only but he sweet-talked London Records into changing the approved credits to make himself seem responsible for her career and ended up getting himself and London Records sued, and the record pulled almost as soon as it hit the shelves which is what makes it hard to find today. Actually, it was produced and fully funded by Robert Covais and gang at KBC International, not produced FOR them as the liner notes claimed."
This record can now be bought from the good people at Bear Family. We advise you to take use of the sound clips before buying as this album can be regarded as aquired taste.
