Hirt’s so good

“The Horn Meets the Hornet” – what a concept!   I imagine the Green Hornet going backstage after an Al Hirt concert on Bourbon Street in New Orleans to meet when this candid photo was snapped.

Always upselling

lp1-510.jpg

Clint Eastwood in the classic spaghetti western “For a Few Dollars More” (1965) by Sergio Leone. The second in the Italian trilogy that started with “Fistful of Dollars” (1964) and concluded with “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” (1966). This is an lp from Maylasia.   I understand that there’s another movie soundtrack score on the flip side, “The Bridge On the River Kwai.” That kinda makes sense. But I don’t see or hear anything to justify the “A Go-Go” label on the cover. Maybe they didn’t understand or maybe they were looking to dupe some young kid into thinking this was a groovy, dance record.

Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out with Dr. Timothy Leary, the LSD-inspired Harvard professor turned shaman to a generation. This is a Mercury records soundtrack release to an exploitation flick about Leary. One of four or five albums featuring Leary that came out in the sixties.

Ecstasy

A nice Italian soundtrack cover illustration.   Italian soundtracks of the sixties are very collectible and often have beautiful artwork — illustrations, photography, graphics — on the covers.
