Minor threat

“Quiet Music”   (Volume 6)   “Relaxing with Cugat”   Easy Listening For Your Relaxation   Columbia Records   Maybe its me, but this sure looks like a scary scene.       I can imagine this on the cover of a lurid 50’s pulp mag or paperback novel.   Should be called “Quiet, Or Else!, Music” or “Music for a Date Rape”.
