Wow, in the swinging sixties London even Marty Feldman was a playboy. (My copy got water damaged yesterday when a pipe in the apartment above me burst. This really hurts. Hence the “wanted” tag if you see another copy.)

Thanks for this cool one Otis!

“Buddy Mize. Obscure private press tribute to the kings of AMA dirt-track and road racing of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Wonderful “folk art” llustration on front I would kill for the original of. Total DIY piece from So-Cal. I found this missing the Lp so I have no idea what it sounds like, but from the titles it looks great. Most of the tracks are listed as “narration & theme” and are by Melva Murphy. Damn, I want to hear this! Anybody out there have a copy?” – www.otisrecords.com

Artsy double exposure on this low budget polka record.   The simple title and plain colored type are nice too.

I bet the “Reverend in Rhythm” Father Robert White can really bust a move when he gets off the pipe.

I collect albums that were issued as multiple cover puzzles. Riverside issued nine lps that created three sexy, cheesecake puzzles. Here is one set. The series “Compositions of…” compiled an amazing collection of modern jazz performances and showcased the writing of Ellington, Monk and Dizzy Gillespie alongside sets of Gershwin, Arlen and Berlin.

These Audio Stag records were sold by mail order or from behind the counter at sex shops in Times Square, etc.

Johnny “Guitar” Watson was the original “Gangster of Love” and a godfather of funk. His records from the fifties were distinquished by his funky guitar (check out “Hot Just Like TNT”). This early seventies comeback lp featured the hit “A Real Mother For Ya” and a solid gold cover that defined ghetto fabulous for the stroller set. Buy this record and then get “It’s All About the Dollar Bill,” “Ganster of Love,” “Ain’t That A Bitch” and a great album with Larry “Short Fat Fannie” Williams called “Two for the Price of One”.

The girl groups of the sixties had so much style and the Marvelettes, one of the great groups of Motown, not only made great soul records (“Here I Am Baby,” “Don’t Mess With Bill,”” Please Mr. Postman,” etc.) they always looked cool.   This best of compilation is from Holland.

Urania was a great cover label in the 1950’s and put out some great traditional jazz as well.   This is a cool, sexy chick alone in an alley in the light of a street post after dark.   A cigarette hanging on her lips.   Looks like a pulp JD paperback cover.
