“Music To Dream By” Valentino and His Orchestra GMS Records An exceptional example of a 1950’s cheesecake cover on a record of quite unexceptional music. Looks quite common but it’s really very rare.

Here’s my copy of Esquerita! (1959) Capitol Records Esquerita was an obvious influence on Little Richard. Like Richard, a flaming, shrieking, piano-pounding rock and roll originator. Amazing that he was on Capitol records with label mates like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Peggy Lee. I put this one in a nice wood frame I found in a Berkeley record shop.
Tracks include: Hey Miss Lucy / She Left Me Crying / Hole In My Heart / Believe Me When I Say Rock ‘n’ Roll / I Need You / Why Did It Take You So Long / Get Back Baby / I’m Batty over Hattie / Gettin’ Plenty of Lovin’

Bill Haley and his Comets Decca Records. (1955) Includes “(We’re Gonna) Rock Around the Clock” the song that introduced rock & roll to White America. “Rock Around the Clock” was a modest hit until the song was used as the title track of “The Blackboard Jungle” some 12 months later. His next record was a cover of Joe Turner’s “Shake, Rattle and Roll’ which was a top ten hit and the first rock & roll record to sell a million copies!
