“Music for People with Two Left Hands” Dave Nault at the Baldwin Organ.
“Where There Walks a LOGGER, There Walks a Man” Buzz Martin, Logger (not Blogger). On Ripcord Records.
“Music for Morticians” “Les Pallbearer and His All-Ghoul Orchestra” This has to be one of my rarest records. I believe it was made as a goof by guys working in the design department at Capitol records Who knows how many were made. It’s dated on the label 1951. I’m assuming it’s them in the cover photo. I wonder who they got to be the corpse?! I’d love to hear from anyone who might know anything about it, though I imagine that’s unlikely. Still, a great cover and right in the spirit of our obsession.
Thanks to all for suggesting titles for this post. Check out the comments for some funny ones. In the end, I went with a take on one of my favorite Aretha Franklin songs. (Being a Matty myself you know!) Thanks to Lp cover lover Daniel Andre for sharing this amazing cover.
“I’ll Never Be Afraid” by the Gospel Rythm-Aires. A superior example of outsider, DIY cover art. Beautiful in its simplicity and naivete. Mixed media here all comes together for a doomsday message of hope, faith and salvation. See the ghostly figure of Jesus in nature craddling the band as Armeggedon hits the big city.
Ron Feuer with an all-star jazz line up of FranK Rosolino, Bill Perkins, Paul Moer, Jimmy Bond and Billy Wiggins. On Del-fi Records.
“One Night of Love…!” Daniel De Carlo Decca Records. Here’s the image of the classic American bachelor, the cad, the swinging hipster, the wolf on the prowl. All the signs of trouble were there when she arrived.
