The eyes have it

I had this album as a kid.   A great example of how a pretty girl can sell a cover and how a cover can sell an lp.   The music is great and I would never have known at 14 if not for those “angel eyes”   Dave Brubeck Quartet “Angel Eyes” Columbia Records

Sun Ra and his Arkestra featurig John Gilmore on Tenor Sax     I don’t have any information about this as I don’t have the disc, just the cover, which is “homemade.”   The back is all pasted over with gold foil and the front has hand-coloring and some stickers.     I think that this covered one of Sun Ra’s records on Saturn.   Any Sun Ra followers out there that can shine some light here?
