Shades of Ray
Ray Charles et les Raylettes. Ray left Ahmet Ertegun’s R&B label in 1959 to join ABC-Paramount. Some feel his work was never as raw and rockin’ again. This nice French picture sleeve was contributed by Fred Siebert who, like Ahmet, has discriminating taste and continues to discover and promote new artists (now through sites such as Channel Frederator.com)

Matthew,
I bought this record at an outdoor swap meet during my first trip to Cannes, France about 15 years ago. It’s sitting in my office waiting for you.
