Oscar Brand “The Drinking Man’s Songbook” on Offbeat Records
The Johnny Otis Show, Live! with Booty “I’ll put my mojo double-love pakka-mame on!!!” Green on Laff Records. These Laff LP covers were all designed by Howard Goldstein with photography by Bud Fraker.
Funny thing about this – I have Volume 1 and Volume 2. They made a third one! Thanks Calvin at The Disobedient Muse
I just looked at this again – check out the right hand of the bloke in the middle!
“Goddamn Great Drum Music” Another “High In-Fidelity” album cover-as-greeting card from the early 60’s. Look her for the complete set over time.
“Dream” with the Elliot Lawrence Orchestra. Aptly on the Fantasy Records label. The typography, the lighting, her figure and the spareness of the room all add up to a kind of simple elegance on this cover.
Bettie Page – The “Carmen” cover. On the Acorn budget label. One of just three Bettie covers from the late fifties/early sixties.
“One Night of Love…!” Daniel De Carlo Decca Records. Here’s the image of the classic American bachelor, the cad, the swinging hipster, the wolf on the prowl. All the signs of trouble were there when she arrived.
“Miss Peach” also Michael Finnegan and Dorothy Olsen “The Singing Schoolteacher”. Based on the famous comic strip. A .49 RCA single. This is credited “New York Herald Tribune, Inc.” and signed by the artist “Mell”.
(Editor’s Note: Mell is Mell Lazarus, the cartoonist and creator of two long-running syndicated comic strips, Miss Peach (1957 – 2002) and Momma (1970 – present))
