Brita Borg “Fat Mammy Brown” Knappup Records (Sweden) Right to the LPCL Hall of Frames from LP cover lover Peter in Sweden! “This is how Sweden was in the year of 1957. Britta Borg was a loved jazz singer with a very deep voice. I found this 45rpm in a junkstore and paid 50 cents. I have not seen it before. Have about 3000 Lp´s many bought just for the cover so my collection is quiet mad.”

(Pathe/EMI Records) (China) “Hear this at Soft Film and Explore the ephemeral past of Chinese entertainment from Hong Kong, the U.S.A., and around the world: vaudeville pioneers, flappers, aviatrices, burlesque dancers, hula hoopers, movie queens, sex bombs, jade girls, tomboys, pin-ups, sour beauties, girl jocks, swordswomen, and go-go girls.”
