The who?

Here’s a nice site with Asian pop covers — I love this one! Must have been a mid-sixties mirror group of ? and the Mysterians from half way around the world.

Tubby Boots Goes Topless

img_1225.JPG

Every copy I’ve seen of this comedy nightclub act from the Dunes Motel in Miami Beach, Florida, has been signed by Tubby. (Mine says “To Bea and Jack, Best Wishes”). According to the liner notes, Tubby weighed “a quarter of a ton”. Warning: This is a risque set for mature-minded adults only! Personally, I can’t get the cover image and those star-tasseled man-breasts out of my head.

Double exposure

img_1212.JPG

The music of Slim Gaillard and Dizzie Gillespie packaged by lo-budget Halo with weird, incongruous cover art. Something’s fishy here.

The only time Mike was truly happy

This has become a staple of weird and strange lp cover collections based on it’s appearance on many “worst of” lists, blogs and flickr photo sets.   Deservedly so, Mike is more than just another cross-dressing Brit, he looks great in this spangled, bedangled pant suit.   And this is Vol. 2!
