This is another photo that has been used repeatedly on covers from different labels around the world.   Guess it’s just that good.   Dig the groovy fashion.

Meet Me In Maoriland   Viking Records (New Zealand)

The Sophmores Vogue Disques

How to Make Love to a Blonde  Gianni Monese and his Orchestra  Vox

A “how to” record every guy needs. This is Julie Newmar, a fifties pin-up queen and men’s mag mainstay. In the sixties she became Batwoman on the TV series “Batman”. Like the Bettie Page, a staple of any cheesecake collection.

Mas Musica Sabrosona  Musart

Another beautiful cover from Musart.

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!

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).

Ain’t Misbehavin’: Fats Waller’s Hits and Jazz  Broadway Jazz Orchestra  Halo

Bettie Page was on the cover of 3 Lps in fifties. The most famous uses the Bunny Yeager shot with the tigers, the other is cropped version of this photo. This is the sexiest and hardest to find. Halo is a great label for cheesecake covers. It was a budget label with smaltzy pop music and hits covered by orchestras. But many remain prime examples of early LPs with sexy models and pin-up photography. It would be incredible if anyone unearthed another lp from this period with Bettie on the cover. Maybe there’s one in another country that will show up some day.

Salsa Na’ Ma’  Charlie Palmieri y su Charanga “La Duboney”  Alegre

Wow. This is good on various levels. First of all, I love homemade soup. I love latin music.   And the chef is hot.   I spent about year pulling lp covers to frame and put up in my kitchen, this one made the cut on the first round.
