    Love your site! I’d like to contribute with this:

    Stan Hasselgard, Swedish clarinet player on Capitol, recorded 1948, issued 1949 on 78 and on this EP early 50’s. Is that signature (only the last part “in” visible) David Stone Martin’s ???

    Here is a psychedelic relic even though it is a disc from the 80s.

    This is what 12 x 12 album art was made for.

    Thanks for your great site. How do I attach a jpg?

    Hi Matt,

    Your site keeps getting better and better. Hopefully you, Tony and I will get together at the next FMU show.

    Hey feel free to post whatever gems from my web site you want. Yeah, a plug for my site never hurts but hopefully it’s mutually beneficial. I’m gonna put a link to your site on my web site, so now you have no choice! (lol). Do they call that “aggressive marketing” in the biz (or “friendly persuasion??).

    http://blackgemrecords.com/gallery/main.php

    Anyway, have fun if you want to use some of the pics.

    Best Always,

    Bob

    Haemorrhage – “Chainsaw Necrotomy” Split LP with Dead, designed by myself.

    I’m a big fan of these sickos from Spain since I’ve heard their debut album “Emetic Cult”, in 1995! For me it’s the No. 1 Gore/Grind band!
    I offered Luisma (guitarist, one of the founders and designer) a cover for a further release and he liked my website that much, that he stopped with the artwork for this split LPand gave me the go-ahead! I’m very pleased with it, especially after the difficult photo sessions.

    PS: Beetroot juice tastes awful! ;)

    I bought this album in a charity shop in the summer for 20p (that’s four shillings in real money!). I love the cover. I really hope those kids, who will be in their late 40s by now, grew up to be rich, famous, and happy though I have a strong suspicion they are both doing life sentences for slaughtering the parents who made them do modelling jobs like this one.

    Hey all,

    Found this in a flea market in Pearl, Mississippi this afternoon. I usually don’t collect for the covers (I would have more records than there is room in my house) but I couldn’t pass on this one. The music is actually not bad. Enjoy!

    Thanks to all for making me feel YOUNG again! The look and feel and smell of these vinyl time capsules is amazing! The Goodwill Stores here in Dover and Milford (Delaware) have numerous truck deliveries and a few dollars here and there wind up being priceless! Our children will benefit and keep the records in the family, I hope.

    I was always a fan of Jack Webb and always watched the reruns of Dragnet when I was a kid. I never knew he was a “golden throat” until I came across this cover while photographing a friend’s collection of several thousand LP covers.

    The covers of the Exotica albums always make me want to go and fix a rum drink while I’m looking at them.

    Webb was GRRREAT in THE D.I. and married to cheesecake queen herself Julie London. Julie’s JULIE album cover is a FIVE-STAR, big time!
