“Music for Trapping (Tender, that is)” A prime example of a “bachelor pad” record from the late fifties. Elliot Lawrence provides the cool, jazzy background music for guys on the make (like this cad looking for one more trophy to mount). Top Rank records.

I have a collection of records with titles that start “Songs of”. I’ve never seen a gay dog. Or heard any gay dog songs. But you have to love this cover of a man and the dog he loves. I love my dog too.

George Petty was one of the great magazine illustrators of pin-up girls and cheesecake models from the 30’s – 50’s. His “Petty girls” from the pages of Esquire were used on numerous covers in the fifties, most notably on this series of releases from Decca records. There was even a movie called “The Petty Girl” with Bob Cummings as Petty and Melanie Griffith’s mom, Tippi Hedron as one of his “girls”.
I also love the little line drawing of the guy with the stack of lps at the bottom. There used to be a mural of this on the wall of a record store. I think “Record Surplus” in LA? Anyone?

A Vespa in space on this “space age bachelor pad” lp featuring the “futuramic sounds” of Don Elliott. Weren’t the sixties sensational!

This is one of a series of mock record covers (no lps were included) that came with a black, round greeting card that looked like a record. I believe there were eleven issued on High In-Fidelity Records. I think mid-sixties. They are all funny, I’ll put them up over time!
