The Green Hornet
The Green Hornet (1966-67) was one of my favorite shows as a kid. With the young Bruce Lee as Kato. The swinging, soundtrack is by the great Nelson Riddle. The original theme song played by Al Hirt was used in tribute to Lee in the climactic fight scene of Kill Bill.
Mad Monk
A French Barclay release of early Prestige sessions. Thelonious Monk the composer and pianist is one of the archetects of modern jazz. See the Clint Eastwood produced documentary “Straight, No Chaser” for a moving portrait of the artist and reclusive genious later in his career.
Wild wild West
An “incredibly strange” record and example of the celebrity “Golden Throats” series that has washed up stars taking on the hits of the day to usually disasterous or “so bad, it’s good” effect. This one is on Tower records, which put out some cool sixties rock and roll and some biker and surf soundtracks and the group isn’t bad musically. “Day Tripper” is a classic.
Mary Tyler Moore: The cheesecake years
Before she was LAURA PETRIE, the happy homemaker on the Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Tyler Moore modeled and was annonomously featured on (to date I count 13) low budget lp covers. She was so easy on the eyes that she seemed right at home on the covers of Latin music, Italian music and British music records for example.
Jean Jacque Perry Space Adventure
Here’s a rare 10″ lp from France with early music from Jean-Jacque Perry and an awesome outer space illustration on the cover.
