Arthur Mullard of London. “Arthur was a fifties and sixties British actor (he usually played the heavy) and sort of comedian…well known for his gravelly, cockney voice and boyish good looks. His album, a collection of strange cockney monologues and painfully rendered songs (he sings the Beatles “Yesterday” as “Yus-today”) is a masterwork of dreadfulness. The cover says it all.” (Contributed by LP cover lover, Jay Strange)

In 1951, Price donated some 90 pieces from his own collection to East Los Angeles College in Monterey Park, California, thus establishing the first “teaching art collection” owned by a community college in the U.S. Today, the Vincent Price Art Gallery continues to present world-class exhibitions, and remains one of the actor’s most enduring legacies. The collection contains over 2,000 pieces and has been valued in excess of five million dollars. – Wikipedia
