What a cool, hip, stylish, beautiful, clean, elegant design on Contemporary Records. Jazz cover art during this period (1955 – 1965) on Blue Note, Prestige, Riverside, Contemporary, Verve and Impulse, for example, set the standard for commercial packaging and art direction and perfectly capture the sophistication and artistry of the music contained within.

A masterpiece of the space age bachelor pad genre. Les Baxter is synonomous with exotica and his records from the late fifties and early sixties define a style with adventurous, exotic and “way out” sounds. This is a cool cover from a time when the space program was launching and B movies were king.

This is a sweet kid’s record from Japan. Half a world away in the U.S. King Records was putting out lps by James Brown and Little Willie John.

This one has it’s obvious appeal and it’s no surprise it has avoided me. I look forward to finding a copy someday. It’s on the Japanese roulette label. (Don’t even know the artist)

Here’s a funny one from the folks at Bizarre Records. I never got too attached to a bean bag. Bet this kid grew up to get stoned and play hacky-sack all day.

“Totally great low-brow soul Lp from the late 60’s. The music is as good as the jacket would lead you to believe.” – Otis

Is she looking for the perfect song for the perfect tape compilation. This record is from Italy and is a 16 RPM record. In the forties and fifties turntables could play 78’s, 331/3’s, 45’s and 16 RPM discs. Radio stations used them and I think some of the Armed Forces V-discs were 16’s. I’ve seen some general release ones, but not many. Maybe they caught on in Italy.
