Escandalo en la Universidad (Soundtrack) Gamma
This is a very rare record and a beautiful example of fifties cheesecake photography. This is a spanish version of the “B” movie “College Confidential” and it’s far superior in presentation to the U.S. issue. This one makes good use of star Mammie (sic) Van Doren!

Sing for God and Country “The Singing Midget” Lowell Mason and the Crusaders Crusade Records
There are a bunch of Lowell Mason “singing midget” lps out there. There were other little singers putting records out but he was the biggest.

Vol II Los Santos Musart
The theme of heaven and hell, angels and devils, good and evil is frequently illustrated on album covers of all genres. Often with humorous and sometimes sexy depictions. Here’s another nice latin cover – from simpler times. Album cover art from Latin American countries is among the best in the world. I don’t know why, but check back and I’ll show you. This is another one on the Musart label (music + art).

Dexter Blows Hot and Cool Dexter Gordon Dootone Records This is high art. The photographer is Hermann Leonard who shot most jazz legends beginning in the 1940’s. I met him once in the eighties. Nice guy. A lot of his photos include the curling smoke of a musician’s cigarette. This is a famous shot of Dexter Gordon on the rare Dootone label. A beautiful cover for a beautiful jazz record.

When was the last time you were at a party like this? I won’t file this under “cheesecake”. Blowfly made lots of crude, offensive and funny records on the Weird World label. His cover “art” is in a class of its own. There are many black comedy records that are “adult” or “risque” from the fifties, sixties and seventies. I like this one

Crying Demons Crying Demons Crying Demons A. A. Allen Miracle Revival Records
This is just amazing. Was on my want list for a long time. This is the quintessential over-the-top, tent revival preacher, miracle worker put on. The record is by AA Allen who made many of these bible belt recordings with the “actual sounds” of exorcism and healing. This one is from the fifties and came in a neat blood red vinyl. The guy on the cover is laughable and goofy. Others in this genre can get pretty ugly. I’ll show you some in the future.
