A hip little single from Playboy magazine that went to subscribers in 1957 in conjunction with that year’s first annual Playboy Jazz Poll. Included on this record are cuts from the Playboy Jazz All-Stars LP including “Play, Boy” by Shorty Rogers; “Fine’s Idea” by Charlie Ventura; “Sophisticated Rabbit” by Shelly Mann and “Joey, Joey, Joey” by J.J. Johnson. I collect Playboy related records so this is a nice one that’s pretty rare.

There are maybe a dozen albums from the sixties that feature Playboy bunnies. Some are comedians and performers at the Playboy clubs like this one. Playboy branched out to become a label for a short time in the early seventies (I think Barbie Benton might have been the biggest name they had. She was Hef’s girl at the time.), but I like the classic look and feel of the early years. I’ll be back with others.
