Playful and Pretty
“These are 3 albums by my grandad. “The Percussive Phil Kraus” and “Pretty and Playful” are both great bachelor pad music. I actually haven’t heard the bongos record. They’re not available on CD, but his LPs are pretty popular among collectors. (He also played on about a zillion other records as a studio musician, usually uncredited.)”
Thanks Jeff, this is a classic.
Italian eyes
“I love your site here’s some covers of 7 inches that I found at jumble sale at a church in Venice (italy). They show a certain Italian elan for design file under babes discoclassics, childrens psychedelic tv shows and just plain dodgy, all the best Chris G Deptford London”
Thanks Chris!
Like a rock
“Irish singer Dickie Rock trying to look cool. I’ve got an album with a slightly different cover (it’s cropped a bit). I have no idea what it sounds like, having no record player, I just keep it for the awesome badness of the cover.
“It’s a Chevrolet, man, it’s gotta be cool.”
“It’s a Corvair FFS….but nice jumper.”
Some years later (1975) several members of the band were murdered in an ambush by terrorists and members of the British Army, allegedly supervised by an undercover SAS man, who was himself subsequently murdered. Cheers, Joe Smith, Bath, England”
Thanks Joe!
Bodies and soul
Shocking! Turning the Zodiac into a chart of afro-topped couples in sexual positions! Like a black John and Yoko (though clearly not “Two Virgins.”). The best is that this guy’s face is photoshopped onto mandingo’s body. You can listen to some of this here.
