“A Child’s First Record” Naturally on the Happy Time label. Today perhaps it would be “a child’s first download”. Maybe I’m overthinking this, but what’s a song called “Do My Dolly” doing on this?

“Electric Music To Blow Your Mind By!!!” “A Pot Full of Psychedelic Pop by The Love Machine” On Design Records. (1968) An ordinary vintage organ groove sound with freaky electronics on top of it. For lovers of the Free Pop Electronic Concept and Animated Egg, this is a groovy collection of cheesey ’60s psychedelia loaded with over-the-top electronic effects and jazzy go-go freak-outs.

“Buffalo Bill” by Zwarte Schaduw on Fiesta Records. I don’t know how this one was printed, but it appears almost hand colored. You can almost feel the ink and the color is amazing.

Bill Haley and his Comets Decca Records. (1955) Includes “(We’re Gonna) Rock Around the Clock” the song that introduced rock & roll to White America. “Rock Around the Clock” was a modest hit until the song was used as the title track of “The Blackboard Jungle” some 12 months later. His next record was a cover of Joe Turner’s “Shake, Rattle and Roll’ which was a top ten hit and the first rock & roll record to sell a million copies!

Here’s a beautiful cover and rare record on Charles Mingus’ Debut Records. Debut Records Presents Hazel Scott “Relaxed Piano Moods” with Max Roach on Drums and Mingus on Bass. This was recorded in 1955 and is considered her most enduring jazz recording. Scott was born in Trinidad, trained at Julliard , played at Carnegie Hall, was married for a time to Adam Clayton Powell, Jr and was the first woman of color to have her own TV show (it lasted only six months before she opposed McCarthy and was accused of being a Communist sympathizer and was blacklisted). She continued to perform until passing away in New York City in 1981 at 61 years old.
