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.
