Snuggle puss

Here’s a truely generic recording with a sweet little sleeve.  No artists credited just the following back note “A very fine performance by both Musicians and Singing Artists, a very stimulating record”  And one of the six covers is called “Alternate Title” ?   Avenue Records  London, England  (1967)   Nice lo-fi player too!

Verde Campina y otros exitos del Junior  Odeon Records  These are some of my favorite covers, a collector surrounded by his records, next to a big old turntable.   I’ve put this in the “Just Happy” category, cuz I think he is!
