Kitsch value aside, what makes It's Time for Tina a cut above most celebrity reissues is the album's conceptual ambition: its sultry songs are arranged in order to create a storyline depicting a night of romance with Tina Louise herself. Plus, it's got Coleman Hawkins on saxophone -- how can you possibly go wrong? by Jason Ankeny
