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.

Here’s a neat one from Bellybongo.com/archive a nice site from a neat record collector dealer. I’ve gotten a few from him. Check out his site and his ebay sales too.

Michel Magne exotica

magnefr.jpg

This French pressing and cover art of Tropical Fantasy is much more colorful and exciting that the US version (even though the rare stereo US covers have a little 3-D flicker of hands on a bongo!). The music is early sixties exotica by Michel Magne who did the music for many French movie soundtracks among other things.
