[glow=black,2,300] Every Music Album Cover Tells a Story[/glow] ( but some stories are more interesting than others! )Was it so easy to find an unhappy woman? With only her in the whole bar! And now he is hovering above her like a vulture without her noticing? But … is he looking at her or at her beer? What happened to Moe afterwards: "Bandy's songs never strayed far from the traditional barroom fare" (more)__ 'S'

[glow=black,2,300]DON'T DO DRUGS !! [/glow] I love opening gatefold LP covers - there might be a surprise.
Yes, indeed.What happened afterwards:
"Nondescript album rock with an LP cover which is the most politically incorrect sight you can imagine."

I've never seen more sombre looking hippies!
What happened afterwards: "Jon Abnor was the son of the owner of Abnak Records. Robin was not related to him. Jon had mental difficulties and in the 70s, he was treated at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, where he had an affair with a psychiatric nurse.
After he was released, they lived together and he ended up murdering her. I think he committed suicide, but I'm not sure."

I think western culture is getting more and more feminine, it's time for macho men with a tattoo on their chest.__ 'S'[the tattoo] Luke Baldwin, was called a hard drinking wild man by some of his Compadres in the early day's.
On June 14, 1998, Luke Baldwin Passed away. He was 47 years old.

[shadow=black,left,300] RY COODER[/shadow] This album, "Mambo Sinuendo" features a small combo sound, a sound that was alive in the late '50's, early '60's.
This music is a stripped-down, seductive twangy guitar sound, featuring the guitar work of Manuel Galban up front & center.
Manuel Galban is a masterful Cuban guitarist, whose style is like American guitarist Duane Eddy, one of Ry Cooder's influences.

Freaky, Man. Words cannot express the tremendous silliness of this semi-nude-alien-woman -with-guy-in-black-turtleneck-in-the-background cover shot, so I will let it speak for itself.
The album must've come out around 1968 since the title song is from the Steve McQueen movie; 'The Thomas Crown Affair'. __________________________ 'S'

This is simply an odd collection of songs. (Warner Bros. B 1210, 1958) These songs mirror the torrid, tumultuous emotions of people you must surely know. People who seek love in places where other lovers fear to tread. Places away from the badly beaten paths where orchids bloom, where cocktails pour and where candlelight flickers. Taylor was a TV composer who did the theme songs for shows like The Dean Martin Show and F-Troop. Here, he lets loose his muse, and it's a wacky one. 'We Did the Samba in Shamokin' reveals how feet and hearts can take wing against the throbbing background of a jukebox in Pennsylvania. Or that magical moment on a used car lot in Flatbush, when passion burst into flame, is dramatically captured in 'The Brooklyn Beguine'. _____________________ 'S'

[shadow=brown,left,300]Innovations[/shadow] by Masonite [/b][/size][/center] ( By: Skitch Henderson and His Orchestra )(RCA Victor PRM-193, 1965) Flip to the backside I've included this one mostly as archeological evidence of post-space-age home decor.
After the organic forms of boomerangs and kidneys went out of vogue, American living rooms devolved into a pseudo colonialism that inspires one to gag.
Fake wood paneling was never more popular, and here is the evidence. A promotional record meant to inspire Masonite salesmen to push Royalcote paneling. "Never before have such excitingly different, sales-building innovations been offered in paneling."
The paneling on the front cover is called Royalcote Pecky Teak, "with a built-in texture you can see and feel—natural-looking, beautiful."
Skitch Henderson was the longtime music director of The Tonight Show, from Steve Allen to Johnny Carson. __________________________ __ 'S' [/color]

Monster Sounds and Dance Music (Power Records 342)Frankie Stein and his GhoulsThis record attempts to cash in on the monster craze of the late '50s/early '60s with some truly bizarre cover art.
The crudely illustrated swamp creature sort of makes sense, but what the hell is the albino lizard doing there, and is it really about to be crushed to death by the submerged, faceless man-beast?
Apparently, this was just one of five Frankie Stein albums, each with some stupendously weird cover art.
Here's a personal account [/url] of collecting Frankie Stein records, along with some background info.[/size] _________________ 'S'[/center][/color]

(FAXLP 3005, 1963)
Bert Henry
This is a pretty provocative cover, even for 1963. But FAX Records seems to have been the ultimate label for "adult" records.
Listed on the back are nearly 30 other titles, including Stories For Sex-Minded Males, Songs For Adults Only, Sin Along With Us, Off Limits, Erotica: The Rhythms of Love, Sex Is My Business, and Nights of Love in Lesbos.
Bert Henry, a ribald stand-up comedian, has six other albums listed.
His bits on this album have titles like: "Sex and the Chorus Girl," "Three Men and a Nude," "The Cherry on Top," "The Biggest Ass in Town," and "The Sex Maniac." _______________ __ 'S [/b][/color]
