Olive the nightlife

img_3671.JPG

Graham Forbes and the Trio “The Martini Set”.   1955.

Unlikely album for Sam Phillips to release.   An album of pop standards from the big band era such as “From this moment on”, “The lady is a tramp”, “Autumn in New York”, etc.   The reason this is so collectible is it came from Sam Phillips’ Sun Studios in Memphis.   Very few printed at the time of release.

Hoodies

“Carnaval Carioca”   Lyra De Xopoto.     I don’t really have much context for this cover and can only imagine what the big Brazilian Carnival is like — Mardi Gras times ten.   But Sinter, a Brazilian label, is a source of many great covers.
