Crazy Polish record with great, Seussian cartoon illustrations.  Have no idea what’s going on here, but I imagine some ancient East European children’s story, fable, fairytale?   On the MUZA records label from Poland.  (1971).  Maybe some out there can help?

Champagne Melodico  NESTOR CAMPOS  Victoria Records (Mexico).  Beautiful, luscious, rich, bright and golden.  A shining example of a nineteen-fifties “cheesecake” pin-up fashion beauty cover from south of the border.  Of course, there’s much more here if you like this – just click on the tagged categories.  And leave a vote for more if you like it.
