Don’t try this at home

One of the joys of album cover design during the golden age of the fifties and sixties was the freedom that designers had to do crazy things.   Here’s another example of that “hey I got an idea – let’s do it” attitude.   Steve Allen (at the Wurlitzer Electric Piano!)   “Electrified Favorites” from the guys at Coral.

   Hey Dudes,

   This cover model did a lot of work in the 50’s and early 60’s.I’ve seen him on many Ray Coniff covers and a few buget label covers as well. Perhaps his greatest cover is Pedro Garcia’s “Tropical Cruise” on The Audio Fidelity label.

   […] Meine Güte, es war wirklich selten schwerer die Bildauswahl für einen Post zu treffen. Aber bei den Plattenliebhabern Matthew und Tony bin ich nur zu gerne im Archiv ihres herrlichen Blogs LP Cover Lover versackt. Hier gibt es schließlich unter anderem Multitasking Woman, ihr männliches (?) Gegenstück, den experimentierfreudigen Herren samt schwebendem Hut, entzückende Roboter oder auch ein riesengroßes WTF? zur Auswahl. Und dabei bin ich klickend wie prustend bloß bis Mai gekommen. Ich kann euch die Liebhaber guter Plattenbebilderungen jedenfalls nur allerwärmstens ans Feedreader-Herz legen, denn ganz ehrlich, allein dieses Werewolf-Buddy-Bild ist das Abo schon wert: […]

   Plugging in that wall mounted radio would have no effect on him or his wet feet. Strange.
