ALL HALLOW'S EVE ... "BEWARE"





Background is the cover from a piece of sheet music I have owned a long time entitled "THE SNEAK" a 1920s Fox Trot tune. Sheet music not in good shape, time to use that cover!

Record Sleeve.......................The Passing Of The Flounder

A hommage to one of my all time favourite artistes and albums - Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band's "Trout Mask Replica" a double album notorious in the late 60's for being unlistenable! It sounded great to me at the time but I still prefer some of his other albums like Strictly Personnal or Ice Cream For Crow to name but a couple. My tastes have changed somewhat over the years but I do have a soft spot for a couple of tracks and the album sleeve is a very memorable!

Record Cover - In Harmony La Disc


 

FACEFOOD



 A load of junk mail arrived just in time.

I think the band Chick n Dip would call their first album “FACEFOOD”

Record Cover........................Bee Gees Rare Butcher's Cover

You thought the Beatles rarity was rare but this Bee Gees rarity is even rarer - in fact it's claimed that this one is the ONLY ONE in existance! Now that's what I call RARE!

record-cover: ....arthur people.
