We’ll be selling boxes and boxes of LP COVER LOVER records tomorrow SATURDAY, APRIL 30TH at the world famous Billy’s Antiques on Houston Street (just off Bowery) in New York City’s Lower East Side.
Come on down between 1PM and 6PM and say hi to me and Tony and pick up some great records (and covers!) for cheap.

Walt Disney’s Alice in Wonderland Songs and Narration by Richard Hayes and Roberta Quinlin
“Ma Province et Moi” Esso Gas & Oil Presents the French Folklore of Jacqueline Danno
“Music to Sell the Real Thing By … and Other Hits from Ken-L Foods!” A 1961 “industrial” record put out by advertising agency giant J. Walter Thompson for the K-L Ration dog food manufacturer to get their sales force pumped up to sell, sell, sell. Here are original songs written to inspire company tail draggers and motivate those who made their living one can of dog food at a time. Promotional tools and brand prosthelytizing to a bouncy beat.
This is FALSE ADVERTISING. After listening to this, there’s very little bounce here or any music at all! The hushed, sexy female voice (“Miss Monologue”?) with her sexual innuendo and double-entendres is very strange in counterpoint to the all-business marketing exec trying to get his dry message across. (Her: “You’re a big boy now” – Him: “A figure of speech honey”) This is just terrible. Like eating dog food!
