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. (?)“

Dear God

img_4030.JPG

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.
