George Petty was one of the great magazine illustrators of pin-up girls and cheesecake models from the 30’s – 50’s. His “Petty girls” from the pages of Esquire were used on numerous covers in the fifties, most notably on this series of releases from Decca records. There was even a movie called “The Petty Girl” with Bob Cummings as Petty and Melanie Griffith’s mom, Tippi Hedron as one of his “girls”.

I also love the little line drawing of the guy with the stack of lps at the bottom. There used to be a mural of this on the wall of a record store. I think “Record Surplus” in LA? Anyone?

When was the last time you were at a party like this? I won’t file this under “cheesecake”. Blowfly made lots of crude, offensive and funny records on the Weird World label. His cover “art” is in a class of its own. There are many black comedy records that are “adult” or “risque” from the fifties, sixties and seventies. I like this one
