This is a cool Prestige record from the fifties called “The Musings of Miles”. There’s no type on the cover just this straight forward photo of Miles (who was notorious for turning his backs on audiences).

This one is really bizarre. Putting a comic book superhero on a cover with a naked woman is something you won’t see in most record store racks. Good thing as this could freak out a young Batman fan. The drawing of Batman is bad and the nude unattractive giving the overall presentation a sleazy, low-budget appeal.

This is a beautiful example of a 1950’s cheesecake cover from Liberty records. The dramatic lighting, the stylish pose, the shag rug, the cigarette smoke – even the cool lamp – set the stage for a record that promises seductive, easy-listening, bachelor pad music.

George Petty was one of the great magazine illustrators of pin-up girls and cheesecake models from the 30’s – 50’s. His “Petty girls” from the pages of Esquire were used on numerous covers in the fifties, most notably on this series of releases from Decca records. There was even a movie called “The Petty Girl” with Bob Cummings as Petty and Melanie Griffith’s mom, Tippi Hedron as one of his “girls”.
I also love the little line drawing of the guy with the stack of lps at the bottom. There used to be a mural of this on the wall of a record store. I think “Record Surplus” in LA? Anyone?

A Vespa in space on this “space age bachelor pad” lp featuring the “futuramic sounds” of Don Elliott. Weren’t the sixties sensational!

Everyone needs a hook I guess. I haven’t listened, but the music probably stinks.
