Chicks dig records

The quintessential chick digs records!!  Here’s pin-up queen Bettie Page dropping the needle on a stack of 45’s!  We’re guessing it’s a swinging, hip-grinding, rump-rolling selection to get everyone in the mood.

Stupefaction posted this and it got us to thinkin’ that we’d like to have a gallery of girls with records and record players. If you find one please send it in and we’ll add it here!

Chicks who va-va voooom

Thanks Mel for finding “The Record Player” from 1939 by Karl Hofer, German (1878-1955)  (Property of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri)

Is it a hat box or a portable record player?  Ask 1930’s hoofer, Ruby Keeler!

“This little girl is obviously thrilled with her record player.  Yet it is probably the lowest “fi” possible – she has to turn it by hand.”

Always let your girl pick the music.

French chanteuse Juliette Greco (from Boris Vian’s illustrated Manual of St Germain des Pres).

Why get up?

Record head!

Marianne Faithful DIGS records by The Faces and Bach too.

Pattie (Mrs. Harrison then Mrs. Clapton) digs the fab four!

Amazing.  Bardot digging records!!  C’est bon! (Thanks Eddie)

Oui oui, that is Catherine Deneuve digging some old 45’s

Rose McGowan is goin’ old school diggin’ LPs with her pooch.  What an amazing portable turntable!  Looks like it was made by a car company!  Can anyone identify the maker and model?

Oh look!  There’s Loretta Young having a smoke and a spin.

Thanks to Eddie who keeps finding these!  “With so much else to boast about (wink wink), Carole Singleton invariably boasts of her record collection and the wide variety of selections always at her disposal”  REALLY?!

Some guys dream of chicks who dig records!

    What the deal with chicks and records on the floor?

    They’d handle them like playing with dolls.

    I found a big thumb-print on my “Sgt. Peppers” and FREAKED!

    That’s why I’d NEVER let my sister touch my records.

    The lady up there labelled ‘any requests’ is Candy Barr, who was certainly making me uncomfortable in the late 50s.

    What an amazing number of pics of Jayne Mansfield – more than I’ve seen before. Did you know that she had a 41 inch bust and 17 inch waist? (At least, that was her publicity.)
    Then Julie Newmar – Batwoman no doubt, but she was Dorcas, one of the ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’, as Julie Newmeyer. (She’s the one who married Benjamin; she became blonde later.)

    There’s a Stereophile cover that has a similar theme. (Stylus in Groove, etc.,etc.) Drawn in Comic Book cover form, the two talk coyly about what they’ll do to each other if allowed to meet….

    I love this page, if you can post the ad for the 1965 Hurst Gee To Tiger, the blonde girl next to the record player lived with me for three years, until she passed away this April. That was the only ad she ever did. I found the ad in a GTO site.

    There is nothing as deligtful in life as seeing a pretty girl enjoying something she loves, especially when it is music and records!
