Jack Fascinato – Music from a Surplus Store (1959, Capitol Records ST-1225, Full Dimensional Stereo)
Released in 1959, Music from a Surplus Store by Jack Fascinato is a unique, experimental instrumental album that creatively incorporates everyday objects and hardware store finds—such as putty knives, trowels, castanets, springs, and oil cans—into whimsical, jazzy compositions. The album features a mix of novelty, jazz, and easy listening elements, making it a standout in the space-age pop and exotica genres.
The cover artwork features a stylishly dressed woman and a store clerk in a surplus store, reinforcing the album’s concept of turning common, industrial sounds into musical art. The back cover describes the innovative recording process, highlighting the use of unconventional instruments and their integration with traditional jazz arrangements.
Some notable tracks include:
Oily Boid – Featuring the slick squeaks of two oiled-up model train wheels.
Spring, Sprang, Sprung – Utilizing springy toy sounds for a bouncing jazz effect.
Latin Hardware – A Latin-infused track using rasp tools and wooden mallets.
The record was issued as part of Capitol Records’ "Full Dimensional Stereo" series, which emphasized high-fidelity, immersive sound.
