“Adventures in Music” RCA Victor. A box of three classical music 45’s produced to introduce second graders to the wonders of music. Every school used to have these boxey record players in classrooms and the library too. And just look at the fun that they’re having. Circa 1960.

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.

One of the rarest drug-related records I’ve ever found. “Tripping Out” “Designed to acquaint you with the drug experience without exposing you to it’s dangers” This is from 1970. Each track is a virtual, simulated high of one kind or another. From acid to goofballs to smack and pot. This is a drug education record that tells it like it is man! Straight talk about flipping out. Check out the graphics, illustrations and typography.
