Do it any way you wanna

DIY Jayne

We love to showcase examples of homemade album covers just like this one.   Whoever this DIY, cover art iconoclast was, he or she wanted to improve on the packaging of this run-of-the-mill record by the Ray Charles Singers.     Using just scissors, paste and pen (and the cut-up of a nude Jayne Mansfield), the result provides a personal, yet universal, response to the title, “Things To Do On A Rainy Night”.   Thanks to Will at ShowandTellMusic for showing this one-of-a-kind find.
