Harmonica Romance -
You probably noticed the little blonde in the sleeveless leotard, but also
look at the size of that guy's harmonica! Hum babe, he's ready for romance.
Choice cuts: La Cucaracha, Man On The Flying Trapeze (so romantic!)
|
|
Westminster Pop Sampler
- Our pretty model, lulled to sleep by the lively music and the hideous
pink walls, doesn't notice the sinister record albums encircling her.
Choice cuts: Autumn Leaves, Can Can, What Child Is This
|
|
Polka A Go-Go - "Who you callin'
a pimp?" snarls Lil Wally into the Go-Go Phone. "Dese are my sisters. I
run a class joint."
Choice cuts: Hitsitty-Hotsitty, Don't Worry-Don't Hurry, Why Marry?
|
|
Smooth As Silk - Music as
soft, smooth, and wholesome as this pretty lady and her kitty. Wayne King,
also called the Waltz King, had his own TV show and played at Eisenhower's
inaugural ball, so you know he was good.
Choice cuts: Anniversary Song, I Love You Truly, Tenderly
|
|
How To Belly Dance For Your Husband
- Check out the guy in the chair - he's getting an idea. The fascinating
booklet (not illustrated) suggests, "If you have to settle for a bra, sew a pair of
long shimmering earrings on either cup. And most importantly, place a jewel
in your navel." Okee dokee.
Choice cuts: Salome's Veil, The Unveiling, Boom Boom
|
|
A Midsummer Night's Dream - Getting
back to earth, here's a modestly cheesy Classical LP cover featuring a fantastic
leaping blue body suit.
Choice cuts: The part with the famous Wedding March is pretty choice
|
|
The Man From Uncle - Neither the
first nor the last of the swanky spy duos, Illya Kuryakin and Napoleon Solo were the
breast, sorry, best of their day.
Choice cuts: A Martini Built For Two, Watch Out!
|
|
Calypso- Is Like So... - That's
right, it's the absolute King of Cool, shown here complete with drink, smoke, dame,
and attitude. You talkin' to me?
Choice cuts: Coconut Water, Not Me, I Learn A Merengue, Mama
|
|
Soundproof - You have to wonder
who thought this awesome scene, direct from the movie "Forbidden Planet", would fit
with an album of piano duets. And why would you want to call any LP "Soundproof"?
Choice cuts: Mississippi Boogie, Dark Eyes, Man From Mars
|
|
Top Hit Club of America, Inc. -
Genuine warmed-over fifties hits, right from the fifties, as performed by [not] the
original artists. Love that finger-poppin' hoop-skirted dream-doll, though,
rockin' around the clock.
Choice cuts: Uh, sorry, no record, and nothing on the back cover either.
