Phono sex

img_0429.JPG

“Barbara…Many Nights of Pure Pleasure” “Never Before! Sexciting, Satirical, Erotic Drama and Dialogue…!” “Rated XXX” “Sex!! Language with Red Hot Action!” “Warning: Sexual Recording of an Adult Nature. This Album is not intended for minors and under no circumstances are they to hear it or possess it.”

“I don’t care if it’s a man or a woman I’m in bed with, so long as we have sex.” And so starts the bizarre story of Barbara, a prostitute, initiated into her licentious life by forced sex with her father at the age of 12. Listen to the detailed account of her life story, told in full dramatization by a highly experienced cast.”

Calypso facto

img_0703.JPG

“Calypsos from Jamaica” on Ritmo. Beautiful cover illustration from the fifties. Looks a little like the work of Mexican artist Ernesto Garcia Cabral (though I don’t think it is). If you like Calypso, check out Muriel’s Treasure radio show on WFMU.
