“When I found your website I thought I’d died and gone to my own personal heaven, which is an endless street of charity shops full of the most amazing record covers.   I have to share one of my own collection with you which I purchased in Swansea Town, South Wales and is an equally good record as the cover suggests.   All the best, Major Lloyd (retired)”

Benny Golson on ARGO (1961). “take a number from 1 to 10” An interesting concept here as Benny plays the first number solo and adds one sideman with each song. Players include Cedar Walton, Curtis Fuller, Freddy Hubbard, and Albert Heath — among ohters — and titles include the Golson originals “Little Karin”, “Swing It”, “The Touch”, “Impromptune”, and “Time”, plus versions of “You’re My Thrill”, “Out Of This World”, and “I Fall In Love Too Easily”.

Kermit Schafer (of all those “Bloopers” records) produced this “album of hilarious 19th hole golf humor”     GOLF-O-RAMA Vol. 1 (Dedicated to the PGA – “Poor Golfers Association”).   A nice cover and illustration from the fifties.
