“A great way to live…a tragic way to die” Thanks, Earl Nightingale. Reminds me of those drivers ed. films that scare you straight. I think the fatal mistake was breaking out the accoustic guitar and singing the complete Air Supply songbook. That just pissed God off.
“How Big is God?” Maybe Paul knows.

“Le Piano Diabolique” d’ Alain VIAN. Contains a smokin’ hot version of “Yes Sir, That’s My Baby” and the scorching “No, No, Nanette”.
Johnny Ray “A Sinner Am I” with Jack Parnell and his Orchestra. This is on the Australian Philips Label. (Perhaps not by chance my reflection is in the glass of this one.)

Thanks to Laura Levine for this very cool one (that I’ve never seen): “Thought you might enjoy this one. (Brooklyn!) At first I thought it must be a Harvey cover as well, but the credit on the back cover reads PANCHO PACHECO. (?)“
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.
“Satan Is Real” The Louvin Brothers (Capitol Records)
From the lpocoverlover Hall of Fame.
Don’t pull it!

Paul Weston. “The Sweet and the Swingin’” “A fresh contrast of melodic strings and swinging vocal patterns”
This is an amazing one from Tony’s collection! Miltino. “El Diablo y Yo” on Sonus. Check out that dude in the devil costume.
This from Bob Selcoe of NewJazz Records: An absolute CLASSIC of the weirdo outsider genre - a “dramatic” comparison of death and heavenly ascendance using the metaphor of an airplane trip! It’s a recorded “play”, with a full cast, airplane sound effects, and “angelic” music provided by the Trevecca Nazarene College choirs. Brainchild of Evangelist Forrest McCullough, who wrote, produced and acts as “narrator”. Inspired while on an airliner the day following his father’s funeral. I can’t do justice describing it - you’ve gotta hear it to believe it! Original private-press with no label (surprisingly, it was later issued on the Word label).
