Space Escapade

A masterpiece of the space age bachelor pad genre. Les Baxter is synonomous with exotica and his records from the late fifties and early sixties define a style with adventurous, exotic and “way out” sounds. This is a cool cover from a time when the space program was launching and B movies were king.

Down on Thunder Road

Amazing how many lps were put out with cool hot rod, dragster, car covers and the “sounds” of the racetrack. No music or anything, just the sounds of racecar engines, screaming tires and shifting gears and such. But the packaging shows some pretty cool cars that deserve a place in my cover collection.

Illegal aliens

This is fantastic.   Great color.   Great type.   From the early sixties.   An obscure Latin pressing.   Look at the great period drawing of the space ship and aliens behind the photo of Mario in song.
