Eyes of the Spectre Chaino
Chaino put out some cool records in the fifties. He was a percussionist and some of his stuff is “exotic” African rhythms and some is more jazzy. This kind of exploitation cover art was popular at the time for Eisenhower-era suburbanites looking for something wild (but safe). A stunning illustration and a prime example of its type. The very rare Spectre label had a very scary eye logo around the spindle hole.
