There are a lot of actual play by play records of the greatest moments in sports. This is a particularily cool one put out by Chesterfield cigarettes. Russ Hodges calls the game and the ninth inning home run by Bobby Thomson that beat the Dodgers in 1951.

Wow, in the swinging sixties London even Marty Feldman was a playboy. (My copy got water damaged yesterday when a pipe in the apartment above me burst. This really hurts. Hence the “wanted” tag if you see another copy.)

I bet the “Reverend in Rhythm” Father Robert White can really bust a move when he gets off the pipe.

Urania was a great cover label in the 1950’s and put out some great traditional jazz as well.   This is a cool, sexy chick alone in an alley in the light of a street post after dark.   A cigarette hanging on her lips.   Looks like a pulp JD paperback cover.

Tex Williams’ “Smoke Smoke Smoke” (that cigarette) was a hit in 1947 and a juke box standard in bars thereafter. This Capitol lp from the sixties is a collection of Williams’ songs. Fyi, Tex was from Illinois. But what a cool photo. I imagine him with three beers in the other hand.

Disco party freaks chose Bambu. Here’s a great collection of “smokin joints” on the Paul Winley Records label. I have a George Benson record called “Cheeba Cheeba” on Winley. I see a connection.

I don’t have a lot of classical music covers, but some are sexy and incredibly strange. I’m sure the art director had something in mind here, but I just like her attitude and the flaming match stick.
