“Inside Sauter-Finegan” A common, yet remarkable Jim Flora cover on RCA Records. (1954) This is Sauter-Finegan’s first 12-inch LP. It was packaged with a gatefold cover of a sort peculiar to RCA Victor at the time – the record is removed from an opening at the inside spine of the spread-open cover. There was no danger of a record falling out of one of these covers. Here you can buy the T-Shirt!

The problem with these gatefold covers is the spine tended to wear out fairly quickly. Could be there was too much stress involved if the spine wasn’t re-enforced.

A couple of years ago an oddball jazz band called Reptet licensed some of Jim Flora’s artwork and even recorded an album inspired by his art. He was certainly a strange cat, but very distinctive and influential. Funny thing is, knowing Sauter-Finegan, I can’t imagine that this album’s cover art would correlate to the music inside *at all*.

The link to the t-shirt doesn’t work… anyone know of anywhere else I can find one?
