“Delirium in Hi-Fi” Elsa Popping and Her Pixieland Band Fontana Records (UK) 1959. Jalousie-Tango; Beer Barrel Polka; Adios Muchachos-Tango; La Polka Du Roi. Illustrated by the great William Steig (Father of jazz flautist Jeremy Steig, FYI)
The hi-fi nut in me objects to the speaker placement. The font nut in me says, “Oh, hell no.”
That’s the 3rd variation of this sleeve on LPCL, two on Fontana and one Columbia. Pretty cool drawing, tho’.
Just listened to this one the other day, US Columbia Adventures In Sound series. It’s different…

I say…THERE’S A SEVERED HEAD BEHIND THE SOFA!
I am reasonably sure that cover says “Pixieland Band,” not “Dixieland Band.” Compare to the P in “Popping” and the D in “Delirium.”

1.) Of course it is Pixieland. Look at the other type treatment mentioned by sRw above: https://www.discogs.com/release/1995773-Elsa-Popping-And-Her-Pixieland-Band-Delirium-In-Hi-Fi
2.) Sadly, the admin sold off his records and this website has been abandoned. Hopefully he’ll revive it one day.
3.) I agree with Brian Phillips about the severed head.
