Congratulations to Contest Winner Derek Schille!   You can see the best of the rest on the Joyful Sounds Contest Finalists page.   Thanks for playing everyone.

(Photoshoppers, image droppers and cover croppers lend me your shears. Can you cut it?     These high-haired honeys are palms out and just begging for something!   We’ll be awarding an LpCoverLover T-Shirt to the artist that submits the most inspired adaptation of the above cover.)

My Converse

img_1234.JPG

This is a great, hard-to-find John Lee Hooker lp recorded in 1971 and released in 1973 on ABC. “Going Down” features rockers Van Morrison and Elvin Bishop, while the other numbers include great r&b and jazz session guys like John Klemmer, Cliff Coulter, Mel Brown, Don “sugarcane” Harris, etc. But the highlight for me is a the first song on the second side – Younger Stud Younger Stud

The cover photo is by Al Kramer and designed by Ruby Mazur.

All I wore in the early 1970’s were high-top Converse like these.
