Oops, I did it again

Made in Japan.   This one struck me.   A nice dramatic moment of sweet apology.   For what we can only imagine.   But she’s instantly forgiveable.

Sax Appeal

I love this type of cover.   The girl, the sax, the animal skin rug.   The color. The style.   The title.   Even the label RELAX.   Made in Holland.

Separated at birth?

Sometimes covers in distant parts of the world seem to just match up too well. Or is this the same model and photo shoot. Martin Denny’s Primativa (1958) on Liberty is a staple of any exotica/bachelor pad/lounge collection. But this Arturo Romero record on Orfeon from Mexico may even pre-date it.

Vintage cheesecake cover

img_0446.JPG

This is another gorgeous 1950’s cheesecake 10″ cover from Japan.     These are at the heart of my collection.   This kind of shot only works for me until the mid-sixties when the vibe changed and an innocence was lost.   The sexy covers of the sixties are good for their sleaze appeal, but the period of 1945 – 1965 was the golden age of pin-ups.   The leopard skin is always a nice touch (implying the tiger inside the sweet facade?)   Again the Japanese appreciated this artform and were able to reproduce American popular culture beautifully.   I imagine most of the photos of western models on Japanese covers were shot here and the rights were sold for release in Japan.   But they did a nice job of putting out quality reproductions.
