LES BAXTER'S jewels of the sea
American composer and conductor Les Baxter, released on Capitol Records. 
Considered one of his rarest, most dreamlike, and highly sought-after records, it uses a rich blend of strings, flutes, organs, and early electronics to evoke an underwater fantasy world.
The Original Record & Cover Art
Theme: The music explores underwater themes like mermaids, sunken ships, and the lost city of Atlantis.
The Cover: The original sleeve features a famous, provocative photograph of actress and model Diane Webber smiling underwater.
The Suffix/Tagline: The jacket includes the suggestive tagline: "Titillating Orchestrations for Listening and Loving".The Final Track: 
The title track, "Jewels of the Sea," was originally composed by Baxter as "Katia's Theme" for the 1960 Mario Bava horror movie Black Sunday
The Significance of the "Original Capitol Inner Sleeve"
In vinyl collecting, having the original Capitol Records inner paper sleeve is a crucial factor for authenticity and valuation.
The Look: In 1961, Capitol Records used custom, brightly colored paper inner sleeves. 
These typically featured full-color promotional images of other top-selling Capitol LPs from that exact year (such as albums by Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, or Peggy Lee).
Value Impact: Finding a 1961 original press with both the vinyl and the outer jacket intact is rare. Finding one that still retains its original, period-correct Capitol advertising inner sleeve significantly increases its collector value. 

For as long as man has beheld the ocean's splendor, inspiration has come with the tides and stayed to work its magic on his imagination. 
To a composer the sea offers wondrous motion, a shimmering surface of flowing beauty, liquid depths of romance, enchantment and mystery. 
Composer-arranger-conductor Les Baxter has gratefully accepted these things, and distilled them into exotic miniatures of dream-like orchestral beauty - sparkling, opalescent gems.
Side One
SUNKEN CITY: Percussive sounds chime like ripples, then pound like waves as blendings of voices and electronic effects call a strange tune from beneath the melodic surface • 
STARS IN THE SAND: The flute and the organ sing of a lonely beach, while strings stir like a breeze turning the grains of sand into glittering stardust • 
SEA NYMPH: Bewitchingly she darts across the piano and celesta, listens as woodwinds play a bright melody, pauses to dance a comic samba, then darts away again • 
SINGING SEA SHELLS: They sing like woodwinds, like strings, like an organ. They sing a beautiful, happy melody, and chime softly as waves wash them along the beach • 
DOLPHIN: Piano and snare drum punctuate his rhythm as he flashes majestically by, turning and glistening in sun-drenched swells to the sweeping tune of strings and woodwinds • 
DAWN UNDER THE SEA: The first tinkling rays strike the surface, then become more intense as the watery prism reflects them far beneath the surface to warm the depths.
Side Two
THE ENCHANTED SEA: Like a mystic paradox, the enchanted sea is as changeable as its melody-now serene and inviting, now strange and almost mysterious • 
THE GIRL FROM NASSAU:Neverfar from the sea, this enchanted Bahamian maid is somewhat paradoxical, too. She moves with tranquil charm, yet her Caribbean-style humor keeps breaking in with a sprightly tempo • 
THE ANCIENT GALLEON: How majestically it sails, almost ponderous, as it moves rhythmically in bolero motion over the timeless waters • 
CORAL CASTLE: It stands motionless, listening to all the sea has to tell: a story from the flute and bells, the organ's bizarre tale, the woodwinds' gentle recount, and finally, the grand, sweeping saga of the strings • 
DANCING DIAMONDS: They seem like diamonds, glistening so brightly. But it's difficult to tell whether these are gems of substance, or the sun's rays flashing on brilliant jewels of the sea • 
JEWELS OF THE SEA: What precious jewels these are, that change hue at the slightest whim, that drift lazily for awhile, then transform themselves into a million dazzling sparkles • 
Les Baxter's orchestra plays their praise, in a composition as rich in beauty and varied movement as these magnificent jewels of the sea.
The song "Jewels of the Sea" was composed originally by Les Baxter as "Katia's Theme" for the American International picture, Black Sunday.
Produced by DAVE DEXTER, JR.
