Who’s on first?

Our friend Jerome in France sent this.   It was his first record ever.   Circa 1966.   He said his mom got it for him at around age three.   I think my first single was “King of the Road” – maybe the same year!   What was yours?

Space camp

A low-budget, rip-off album of the cult movie and Jane Fonda embarrassment “Barbarella” performed by “The Young Lovers”. “The Hit Songs of the The Wild Movie & Other Way Out Themes.”   Turns out to be quite funky and hip, especially the sexadelic cut “The Black Queen’s Beads” which DJ’s picked up on at the turn of the twenty-first century. Pretty cool cover too!

Dear God

Remember Eddie Albert?   Green Acres (1965-1971) but also memorable as Cybil Sheppard’s dad in “The Heartbreak Kid” and as the warden in “The Longest Yard”.   Anyway, he was always religious and made lots of corny records like this one.   But the cover of this one caught our eye.
