Freaky dollskie

“Naga” (“Naked”) is rock opera album by the Polish band Niebiesko-Czarni (Blue-Blacks; English translation of the band’s name on this cover isn’t literal).     It was released in the People’s Republic of Poland in 1972 through Polskie Nagrania “Muza”.     (Thanks to LP cover lover Dadarin for the contribution)

Dixie chick

“A Tribute to the Immortal Bob Scobey” by Jan Scobey and her Dixie Cats. (1966)   Jansco Records Cover design by Don Bronstein

LP cover lover, Ross Smythe writes:   I enjoy LP Cover Lover and check it a few times per week to see what’s new and unusual.   Found this  at the Orange County  Record Show, a monthly event here in Southern California.   The cover caught my attention.   I had never seen this title before, and   I liked  the black and white,  the shadows, and the photo of the young lady.     Bob Scobey (1916 – 1963) was an American jazz trumpeter and bandleader – Jan is his wife and is the vocalist on this album.   I’d be curious  to see how your other viewers  rate this cover.   I’d give it at least a 4/5.
