Bob Marley “Catch A Fire” Island Records. 1973. This is the record that made Bob Marley an international star. His first on a major label. With Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer and Aston and Carlton Barrett on bass and drums. Produced by Chris Blackwell. The album including the classics “Stir It Up”, “Concrete Jungle” and “Kinky Reggae” is 125 on Rolling Stone magazine’s top 500 list (the highest of Marley’s four Lps to make the list). The first 20,000 copies released were encased in this Zippo lighter die-cut sleeve. The sleeve opened like a lighter case with a side hinge. Rob Weiner and Rod Dyer designed.

“Campus Capers” In “Cool Fidelity”. I have a second volume of the same name. I love these cool beatnik era illustrations.

“Passion in Paint” Henri Rene and his Orchestra. RCA Victor “Famous Paintings Set to Music” We’ve seen this concept executed differently already. Compare with this Vincent Price cover.


“Lonely Faces” By Sammy Tippit (A young 22 year-old Babtist youth evangilist and the President and Founder of “God’s Love in Action” an Evangelistic Association for reaching gangs, militants, runaways, hippies and drug users for Christ.) and the Monroe 7, (vs. the Chicago 7?), (seven young people from Monroe, Louisiana that pushed a wheelbarrow of bibles all the way to Washington, DC, literally spreading the word of god across America.) Rainbow Records. Pretty tricky packaging. This record is like a sheep in wolves clothing.
