Nice one from lp cover lover, Michael Chorney in Lincoln, Vermont who writes: “Love your site. Heres a classic – Maoist children songs (note they are holding rifles.) Contains the hit “Criticize Lin Piao and Discredit Him Completely” (Lin Biao (also Piao) was a famous revolutionary general who rose to become Mao’s anointed successor, but died in a 1971 plane crash after what appeared to be a coup against Mao)

Bud Herrmann “Pops” the Classics on the 97 Key Bosendorfer (a piano).” Is Bud being ironic here? Grandiose? Fatalistic?

“Rockalain” of France sent this one in. Thanks Alain — this is sick.
“I’m glad to propose this funny LP cover of a 1970’s UK Rock & Roll Band “The Rock ‘n’ Roll Allstars”. Their attempt at a Red China tour was a disaster. The Chinese were not ready to hear this kind of music in the Seventies. The story goes that they played just one show before they were asked to leave the country. Maybe they were the first rock and roll band to play in China? A Thousand “Thanks” and congratulations for your magical and fabulous site !!!!!!”

“The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” (And Other TV Themes). David McCallum (l) and Robert Vaughn (r), the stars of the hit sixties tv spy series “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” The show ran for four seasons (1964-68). A spin-off, “The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.” aired one season (1966) and starred Stephanie Powers. I just learned (or was reminded) that the acronym stands for “United Network Command for Law and Enforcement.”! Cool.
