Par-dee Records.   These records came with, and were meant to be played as the soundtrack to, some 8mm movies from the National Films company (in Toledo, Ohio, don’t cha know).   We can only imagine what those films were since I only have the records.   Of course, the attraction for me are the vintage 1950’s graphics here.     Par-dee!!

“Songs for Bashful Lovers” Composed and Sung by Carl Eugster with Orchestra. MGM records.

Orlando Silveira.   Odeon Records.

“We Like Johnny”   Johnny Dorelli that is.   Italian Crepax label from the Sixties.

Musart “Los Solistas de Lara”

Cover art by llustrator, animator and graphic artist Gene Deitch. Two singles from Australia of Dixieland jazz from the 1920’s. On the Swaggie label. Johnny Dodds, King Oliver, etc.   Among many accomplishments, including an Oscar for Best Animated Film, Deitch, in the 1940’s and 50’s, was a frequent contributor to Record Changer magazine, a magazine for jazz record collectors.

The Ruby Braff (Trumpet)/ Marshall Brown (Trombone) Sextet on United Artists Records. (1961)

The Singing B’s “Teen, Tunes, Tempos” (That’s three T’s!) on HiFi Records. She looks like she’s never seen a record before.   And I’m afraid to ask what the other girl is holding to her cheek. This whole thing is creepy. There seems to be no air in the room. Like the scene has been vacuum sealed.

“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”
