I Dig Chicks - Jonah Jones Quartet
MFP 1035 ------ 1959
Loving the moody girl. But does she dig chicks?
In Reggae Time - Various
Ember EMB 3411
Gratuitous bongoes with a trippy edge. If anyone has the record, let me know - I’ve just got the sleeve.
Herb Alperts Tijuana Brass
Whipped Cream & Other Delights
A & M AMLS 958 ------ 1965
Quite a common record, and proof if any were needed, that sex sells - even Easy Listening. Common record and can be easily found, but still one of my favourites.
Club International
Archie Silansky & His Quintette
Gallotone GALP 1005 - South Africa
A cornucopia of International delights by this S.A. quintette, and erm,,, ladeees in “national dress”. Check out Miss South Africa!
National dress?
Playboy Party - The Hazy Osterwald Sextet
Polydor 46 401
10 out of 10 for the suits and shoes - not so sure on the centrefold.
Ragas and Reflections - The Indo Jazzmen
Saga FID 2145 ------ 1968
A superb jazz/world crossover with a great smoldering cover.
Calypsos - Too Hot To Handle
Monogram 837
American release featuring Lord Kitchener, Duke of Iron & The Charmer.
Art Heatlie - Saxophonics
Trutone STO 705 ------ 1969 ------ Africa
So good they even made this one a gatefold!
The Erotic Delights of Lady C.
FAX Records - FAXLP-1008
Erotica Series No.4
Anyone seen 1,2 or 3 in this series?
Come To Our Surprise Party -
The Gate Crashers
Damont Records - MER 380 - 1973
Wrong, wrong, wrong! See insert below - it’s just WRONG!
How Lucky You Are - Jaap Zeeland
Gemini - GM 2009 - 1972
Poor girl looks cold on this easy listening “delight”.
Show Girl - Various Artists
Society SOC 928 - 1963
Riské cover for the era
Songs Of England - Jack Dorsey & 101 Strings
Alshire - S-5192 - Canada
“101 Songs of England. I know. Let’s put a comely Scandinavian wench on the cover with too much blusher that makes her look like a Tiger. AND, very English this, a trug of oranges.”
To boot, they’ve Scottish, Irish and Welsh songs on there too.
Clueless?
Caribbean! - Harry Belafonte & The Islanders
World Record Club - T 276
One of my favourite Conga players.
Music To Strip By - Bob Freedman & Orchestra
Surprise records Corp. ILP 1001
Bonus free G-String! Sadly missing from this well worn copy. Distributed by Island, also with their Cat. No.
Pat Cooper - Spaghetti Sauce & Other Delights
United Artists UAL 3548
Comedy pastiche on the above LP.
Works for me!
Joe Fingers Carr - Honky Tonk
Music For Pleasure - MFP 1157 1959
Is she clicking her fingers to the groove or asking for money?
Saar Band - Double Action
Calendar LDAY 115 - 1978
Belting tune, but that aside - we’re loving the “classy” company sleeve.
20 Great Hits Of ’73
Contour 2870 359
Cheeky ’73 up-skirt in a bowling alley. Amazing what you find on the backside..er...rear cover. However, study both pics and the illusion is shattered. Two pins standing on the front and two on the rear. Maybe this was just a photo shoot set up....Nooooo - really?
More From The Vaults
Liberty LBS 83377
An interesting and unrelated pic to the sleeve of this comp. The ‘lady’ on the stool is a little masculine shall we say? And what man turns up backstage with a bunch of limp daffs?
The Super Guitar Of Lightnin’ Red
Stereo Gold Award - MER 351
Thar’s a chunky lass propping up that guitar.
A Bowl Of Soul - Richard Groove Holmes
Valiant VS114 - 1966
Some fine organ work to match the excellent, and sturdy crochet work.
Dixieland Spectacular
Deacon DEA 104 - 1971
I’m sure there’s a ‘Band Camp’ joke in here somewhere?
Can Can & Kiss Me Kate
Mimi Benzell & Felix Knight
Allegro ALL 765 - 1965
Same face. Same girl. Same dimples....
Cairo By Night - Mohamed Abdel Wahab
Voice Of Stars - VOS 10020 - 1974
Lovely curvy lady in 3D.
Santa Esmeralda - Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood
Philips - 9101149 - 1977
Misunderstood Leroy? What, semi-clad ladees. Never.
Stag Party Record featuring Terri ‘Cup Cakes’ O’Mason
Fax Records FAXLP 1014
If you’re after a politically correct LP, then don’t buy this!
Get the picture?
I Dig Chicks - Jonah Jones Quartet
Capitol ST 1193 - 1959
The original cover. Should it be, “Picking Up Chicks!” ?
I can’t believe they did a few of these.
Here’s some more of the dirty old scroat with dolly birds. Fancy a punt...
Music To Bathe By
CBS Special Products - LSP 13095
Promotional Lp for Ondine Bath Dew. Apparently they would give away a free 16” x 22” poster with every pack, “No mortal woman will be able to resist it!” reads the strap-line. The poster is of the three bathing belles...
The Silver Strings Play Music For The Small Hours
Deacon Records - DEA 1043 - 1971
It now seems quite odd that there once was the equation nipples + easy listening = sales.
Best Of - Average White Band
RCA XL 13101 - 1980
One of the many ‘cheeky’ covers by the AWB.
String Of Pearls - Bobby Hackett
Vogue Jazz - VJD 531
1970’s juicy jazz offering.
Ohio Players - Honey
Mercury 9100 014
Precisely why you shouldn’t eat honey directly from the jar.
My Pussy Belongs To Daddy x 2
Flattery indeed. So good was the 70’s compilation on Beacon (305) that it was copied by The Pussywarmers on their 2009 issue.
Come Clean - Dwarves
A brace of cheekiness by Dwarves on their ‘Come Clean’ release.
LP - 86575-1 and picture disc CF 046
Sounds Astounding - London Philharmonic Orch’
Stereo Gold Awards - MER 405 - 1974
Astounding isn’t quite the word I’d use. However, the speaker stands are very nice!
Carmen - Don’t Pass Me By
Spectrum SLP 5005 - 1970
Very difficult to pass by this Anglo-Indian beauty. “Carmen herself is a very ambitious young lady; she wears her dresses mini-mini...” - Quite what happened to her is a mystery.
Paul Mauriat Orchestra - L’Amore E Blu
Philips 370 621 PF
A nice psychedelic tinge from this Italian 7”.
Various - World Top Ten
Flag Vol 039
It’s 1972 and what were they thinking? Tucking plastic squares in to flesh coloured knickers?
Bottoms Up With The Locals Featuring Betty Taylor
Marble Arch - MALS 1333 -1970
Popular pub songs captured before they vanished.
Stereo Action Goes Broadway - Dick Schory’s Percussion & Brass Ensemble.
RCA International - INTS 1075
An adventure in Stereo and so many other facets.
Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky - O’Donel Levy
Groove Merchant - GM 535 - 1974
A little belter with a very powerful, sensual cover.
The Impact Of Gary Blake - Gary Blake & His Orchestra
EMI Studio 2 - TWO 174 - 1967
Anthony Lloyd-Parker, the photographer, was also responsible for bringing us the cover of Mrs Mills. Bit of a change of direction!
Mingus Moods - Charlie Mingus
Trip Jazz- TLP-5017
Some sort of sacrificial bondage going on here?
Games That Lovers Play - Stef Meeder
Gemini - GMX 5034 - 1968
Another continental chap and his organ music.
Various - Million Sellers Of The 50’s
Boulevard 4042 - 1971
50’s tunes repackaged to sell in the 70’s. Half hoping a half naked bowling girl would do the trick? Do me a favour.
Various - Kid Loco Presents
Jesus Life For Children Under 12 Inches
Yellow Productions - YP 050 - 1999
A bevy of gems - and beauties.
Francis Lai - Bilitis
United Artists - UAS 30161 - 1978
A pretty mediocre sounding film track with a distinct Euro’ feel. Very common record to be found in charity shops across the land - wonder why?
The Creoles / New Orleans Five - Blues N’ Bras
Boulevard 4065
Boulevard marketing team really push the envelope here. Having said that there’s a good version of Bullen Street Blues where the bass sounds like it’s been stuck in the bog.
Oh Dear What Can The Matter Be. Seven Old Ladies Locked In The Lavatory - Ribald Classics Vol 1
Adults Only - AO1
Australian version of the Rugby songs series.
Suntan - The Sandpebbles Of Barbados
Pebble Groove - PGS 11201 - 1978
Well, here’s a bunch of happy chaps!
More holiday record than anything else played by a competent hotel band. This copy comes complete with sticker!
Hammond Pops 8 - Klaus Wunderlich
Telefunken - SLE 14 675-P - 1972
A vision in bubblegum pink.
Ann Corio Presents, How To Strip For Your Husband
Music To Make Marriage Merrier
Roulette - R 25186 - 1963
Complete with booklet (which makes for fun reading) this is an LP of lounge style strip music. The booklet is the peach though and no doubts from the pre women’s lib era!
Emmanuelle 2 - Francis Lai
CBS 4211
A gentle cover for this second version. 7”
The Brothers Butch
Kay, Why? / I’m Not Going Camping This Winter
Thrust Records - TS 69
A camp little comedy record from London in the early 70’s.
