Always upselling

lp1-510.jpg

Clint Eastwood in the classic spaghetti western “For a Few Dollars More” (1965) by Sergio Leone. The second in the Italian trilogy that started with “Fistful of Dollars” (1964) and concluded with “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” (1966). This is an lp from Maylasia.   I understand that there’s another movie soundtrack score on the flip side, “The Bridge On the River Kwai.” That kinda makes sense. But I don’t see or hear anything to justify the “A Go-Go” label on the cover. Maybe they didn’t understand or maybe they were looking to dupe some young kid into thinking this was a groovy, dance record.

Playful and Pretty

“These are 3 albums by my grandad. “The Percussive Phil Kraus” and “Pretty and Playful” are both great bachelor pad music. I actually haven’t heard the bongos record. They’re not available on CD, but his LPs are pretty popular among collectors. (He also played on about a zillion other records as a studio musician, usually uncredited.)”

Thanks Jeff, this is a classic.
