A record catch

Pretty weird, huh? It looks like I drew that big record on the cover. Someone did, cuz it sure looks fake. Why’s she have a giant record in the boat? Doesn’t she know it’s dangerous to stand in a canoe? He’s cool though.

A Sweet 16

Is she looking for the perfect song for the perfect tape compilation. This record is from Italy and is a 16 RPM record. In the forties and fifties turntables could play 78’s, 331/3’s, 45’s and 16 RPM discs. Radio stations used them and I think some of the Armed Forces V-discs were 16’s. I’ve seen some general release ones, but not many. Maybe they caught on in Italy.

Playing 45’s with Fluffy

I found this online at another site like this one that shares record covers. I’ve never seen it, but given the little dog, the turntable and 45’s, the stuffed animal and the sixties girl with big hair laying on the bed…well I gotta get one!   Check out Dennis Catron‘s cheesecake collection!
