67 Melody Lane Ken Griffin At The Wurlitzer Organ   18 Selections From The Ken Griffin TV Film Series “67 Melody Lane”   Columbia Records, 1950s   “What I find funny about this cover is that the star himself is the small BW figure shown on the TV set, not the guy in the large color pic.   The album itself is (musically) unlistenable.” — lp cover lover, Nicholas West

    Oh my garsh, I’ve never seen a tv set like that. I guess you slide the knob on the bottom to change channels.

    Close examination of the TV set on the album cover reveals it to be a Columbia-Columbia “Century” model set. This dates this to around 1953.
