This is Tony’s. He’s got the best collection of Christmas records in the world. I like this one. It’s simple and strange and only $1.49.

This is one of a series of kids records on Power by Frankie Stein and his ghouls.   There is great monster artwork on all of them.

Adult entertainment

This is a beautiful example of a vintage 1950’s burlesque, stripper lp. It’s on a mirco label Maestro and is signed by the “artist”. The graphics are great.

Music to sell bread by…

There were lots of “Music to” lps made and lots of advertisers used lps for marketing and promotion.   This is a tastee one from Taystee bread that was made for their sales force.   Inspiration to make more bread selling bread.   As if selling a fresh marble rye or seven-grain wasn’t incentive enough.

Look ma, no hands

Richard Miller has half a dozon records under his own name.   He is a quadraplegic that plays guitar and sings.   Pretty amazing and incredibly strange too.

Looking for beats

Always hold the vinyl on the outside. And put the records back in their sleeves!
