June is busting out all over

“Buon Giorno Napoli”   Aurelio Fierro (Italy’s most popular singer of Neopolitan songs.   Recorded in Italy)   An “Adventure in Sound” recording from Columbia Records.

Thanks to “Way Back Now! Let’s Go…” for sharing his vision and fine photoshop work with us.   Some would have been satisfied with the generously proportioned model in the original!

Red velvet cheesecake

“Red Velvet”   Stanley Black and his Orchestra   London Records   This ubiquitous dollar record is easy listening pablum.   Aural wallpaper.   The cover is pretty tame, lifeless and unsexy, but it does have a fifties babe surrounded by LP’s and a sweet console.
