Lp Cover Lover launched on November 23, 2006 with “Music for Daydreaming”. That’s 18 months of sharing our favorite covers every day. Today we celebrate our 2,000th cover and thank everyone that has written, left comments and sent in photos.   I’m going to leave this boring party now and go pull out more records to post.

“Toy Balloons” Russ Conway Columbia Records from Sweden. Thanks to Lp cover lover Ulf for sharing.

“The Party Swings”   Anatomy of A Party.   On Nocturne Records.

“Sexcessfully Yours”   “Be the Life of the Party by Making the Party Come To Life”   Herald Records.   Like the Playboy Femlin in the flesh.

Party Time Nos. 1 & 2. German Telefunken. Fifteen minutes and a few bottles of wine later, Fritz brought out the rhythm instruments to try and get something going. I gotta get Party Time No. 3! (Or I may just have to make it myself)

A monster suprise party! French RCA. I like the guys by the record player.

“A saucy serving of fun for next party.” “A night club in your living room…recorded during an actual performance at the Jolly Roger Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.” The Punchinellos “Party Platter”

“LP Cover Lover” is a great site! I really enjoy it. Maybe you can use this little gem from Germany. There’s no year on it, but I guess it’s from the early sixties. “Tanzmusik fà ¼r die reife Jugend” means “Dance Music For The Mature Youth”. The picture on the cover shows how much fun the mature youth is having. The music is played by “Karlchen’s Ballhaus-Rhythmiker”. You could translate it with “Little Carl’s Dance Hall Rhythmicians” . They surely know their foxtrot, tango, polka, waltz, and even samba! There are many gorgeous details. The booze in the foreground, the windmill on the painting in the background, the fancy black dress of the woman in the foreground. The dancing couple… Wouldn’t we all like to be invited to such a party?”   Regards, Jan Derrer (Switzerland)

German composers Manfred Hubler and Siegfried Schwab (recording as Vampires’ Sound Incorporation) created this groovy soundtrack to accompany Director Franco’s freaked-out vision. “Their crazy sounds are a speed-hopped swinger’s bash of blaring trumpet, booming trombone, slinky organ, and spacy sitar, with a beefy foundation of mod guitar, bass, and drums.” This was included in a 1995 reissue by Crippled Dick records called “Vampiros Lesbos” and became an underground hit.

After it was released this cover was withdrawn and banned.
