“Today’s Top Hits” by the HOMESTEAD (?) on Homestead Records (of course) 1979 Featuring bad recreations of chart toppers of the day, like Randy Newman’s “Short People,” one of the greatest politically incorrect songs of all time.

“Music To Dream By” Valentino and His Orchestra GMS Records An exceptional example of a 1950’s cheesecake cover on a record of quite unexceptional music. Looks quite common but it’s really very rare.

Like Richard, a flaming, shrieking, piano-pounding rock and roll originator. Amazing that he was on Capitol records with label mates like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Peggy Lee. I put this one in a nice wood frame I found in a Berkeley record shop.
Tracks include: Hey Miss Lucy / She Left Me Crying / Hole In My Heart / Believe Me When I Say Rock ‘n’ Roll / I Need You / Why Did It Take You So Long / Get Back Baby / I’m Batty over Hattie / Gettin’ Plenty of Lovin’
