German composers Manfred Hubler and Siegfried Schwab (recording as Vampires’ Sound Incorporation) created this groovy soundtrack to accompany Director Franco’s freaked-out vision. “Their crazy sounds are a speed-hopped swinger’s bash of blaring trumpet, booming trombone, slinky organ, and spacy sitar, with a beefy foundation of mod guitar, bass, and drums.” This was included in a 1995 reissue by Crippled Dick records called “Vampiros Lesbos” and became an underground hit.

Beautiful. Like a German expressionist painting. Lotte Lenya was married to Kurt Weill who wrote “Three Penny Opera” with Bertolt Brecht. Lotte played the main role of Jenny in the original staging. Fyi, she was also in the movie “From Russia With Love”. Thanks again to Kerstan for sending this in.

Artist and underground comic legend Robert Crumb created some great lp covers beginning with the classic cover illustration for Big Brother and the Holding Company’s “Cheap Thrills” album and including many for his own jazz band the “Cheapsuit Serenaders. Crumb amassed a world-class collection of rare 78 records and the Serenaders play classic jazz from that era. Here’s one on Blue Goose Records courtesy of frequent contributor and cover afficianado Kerstan Reineke.

I was charmed by your lp cover log that I ran into over the weekend.
Most of my unusual covers were picked up in the early 90s when I could go to places like the local “Off Broadway Flea Market” and pick up my favorite jazz stars for around a dollar. I kept running into these odd covers that reminded me of when this kind of thing looked normal. Frankly it seems to me like it was more fun when wacky covers were a normal part of marketing these things. I hope some of these covers might find a place on your log. — Steve Talley, Muncie, In
