Two concept lps from the folks at Coral Records. “We Like Girls!” and “We Like Guys!” (Notice the exclamation points as if to say they really like them.)

“Une Soiree Au Carroll’s” From the late fifties. This looks a lot like a film noir movie poster.

Serge Gainsbourg “Percussions” A French Philips picture sleeve from 1964. These cuts and the album “Percussions” overall feature Afro-Caribbean rhythms, a female choir, and lots of percussion. “Couleur Cafe” is a great song with Serge in a delivery so expressive you can hear the smirk on his face. “New York – U.S.A.” basically amounts to a cataloguing of buildings that Serge saw on a trip to New York.

“Way Out…Far” The Lewis Sisters Liberty Records. (1960) Helen and Kaye went on to record as “the Singing School Teachers” and recorded and wrote for Motown Records! Equally odd is this cover which is dark and creepy (in a peeping tom kinda way) on one hand and squeeky clean on the other.
