It’s been awhile since we posted last.  We’re back and hoping to reconnect over more cool records and groovy covers.  Here’s an LPCL Hall of Famer- Thip Taylor (at the piano).  Ember Records.  Seductive Bachelor Pad vibes on full display.

“Schlagerrakete” Various Artists  Polydor Records (Germany) (1966).  Martin Lauer, Silver Dollars; Wencke Myhre, Geht, Ein Boy Vorbei; Roy Black, Ganz In Weiß; Connie Francis, Mein Herz Wird Warten.

Champagne Melodico  NESTOR CAMPOS  Victoria Records (Mexico).  Beautiful, luscious, rich, bright and golden.  A shining example of a nineteen-fifties “cheesecake” pin-up fashion beauty cover from south of the border.  Of course, there’s much more here if you like this – just click on the tagged categories.  And leave a vote for more if you like it.

“Paris la Nuit”  Paul Mauriat y su Gran Orquesta  Bel Air Records (France)

El Beso Robado (“Stolen Kiss”)  Cesar Castro  Fuentes Records (Colombia)  1958 issue of Mariachi, Ranchera, Corrido music.  Lovely shot of a Guacho couple on the ranch.

“Advance Promotion” by Pato C.  Rowt Records (Uraquay).  According to Discogs, Pato C was an Argentine DJ, pioneer in Argentina in the edition of mixed discs and musical selector of rock & roll, funk, Latin and electronic music through his own label and other distributors in the 1970s to early 1990s.  So this is a vinyl mixtape with some cool soul and funk cuts.  We love the artsy, primitive collage cover!

Carroll Baker  “Baby Doll”  P hilips Records (France)  Music from the Warner Bros. film by Tennessee Williams.  Directed by Elia Kazan.

Ritmos Bailables  Orquesta Romanticos de Brazil   MAMBO. DANZON. CHA CHA CHA. BOLEROS.   Star Records (Miami, Florida)
