Thank You, Music Lovers!

April 7th, 2010 in Alternative Cover, Jack Davis by lpcoverlover | 4 Comments

The UK release of Spike Jones’ “Thank You Music Lovers!”   RCA Victor   With a wonderful illustrated cover by Jack Davis!   (For more, check out our Jack Davis category to the left)   (Thanks to new contributor Brian Griffiths who writes “I’ve just found your Lp cover site and I’ve had a great time looking through it.   I enclose an Lp that I bought in 1966, with pix by Jack Davis.   I’ve left the sticker from the record shop – The Disc Shop, which closed many years ago, and the price (which was alway in pencil and on the back of the cover)   Once again, thanks for the site.”)

Brian adds, “I live in the UK, in a village called Coedpoeth (translates as ‘hot wood’, there was charcoal burning around this area for use in reducing lead ore to lead.   Coedpoeth is a village near Wrexham which is the largest town in North Wales.   It’s the place after which the Wrexham Tower at Yale University is named. The sixth form College in Wrexham is also called Yale, although the University here is called Glyndwr.   As for me, I’m a retired (i.e. old and cranky) Chemistry teacher!”

    I remember the “Disc Shop” that Brian would have bought this disc from. It was the “in-thing” to go into town on a Saturday and buy your latest favourite disc from your favourite record store. In the week you would tune into Radio Luxembourg on 208metres on the medium wave and listen for the latest releases on shows such as The Jack Jackson Show or the Sam Costa Show. Later came Radio Caroline anchored just outside the 12 mile limit of the shore-line. This was the start of commercial advertising radio.
