“The Laughing Beatnik”  Vocal by Johnny Beeman with Dave Meyers Orchestra  (c. 1960)  Silly stoned laughter, but certainly one of my favorite record labels – Doll Records (later this single was re-released on AMY Records)

“Listen and Laugh No. 2”  Featuring “El Vee”   A Night at the Beverly Hills Club with Larry Vincent  Pearl Records (Kentucky)  I think Larry Vincent also owned Pearl Records.  Most of his material was released on 78’s.  Mine is signed on the back.   (“El Vee” = Larrry Vincent!)

Victor Santos  Rapsodia Records (Portugal)

Dancing Panther  “Cement Mixer-Twist”  Warner Bros. Records (1960)

Incredible find!  A never-before-seen Batman LP Cover from Spain on the Marter Record label.  “Temas de Peliculas de la TV Americana”

“Country Girls”  20 Great Stars, Great Hits  A budget comp on Commonwealth Records (1978)   A bushel of babes in tube tops can sell this one.

“Wake up Little Susie”  A Bell Records two-sided picture sleeve.  Only $.49 in the U.S.   Barry Frank covers the Everly Brothers hit  (1957)

My birthday brought this sweet cover from an ancient want list finally.  Thanks Tony for the surprise!  Franchino del Mare  F.D.M. Records (Italy)

Another great “Penaranda” cover on Fuentes Records!

A fake cardboard record inside this cool cover from “Air Express” Records.  A promotional item from Air Express (a precurser to FedX?).  Includes sales puns like “An unbroken record for fastest way shipping since 1927” and “In tune with the kind of delivery consignees expect” and “Harmonizing speed in the air with speed on the ground”  You get the idea.  But I really dig the cover!  As a frequent shipper of records myself, I could use some soothing music.
