Moe Koffman Quartet- The "Shepherd" Swings Again. Jubilee 1074 1958 mono

Bottom seam wear on an o'wise M- cover. Scratch on side 1 so VG, side 2

Louis Prima- Rock And Roll. Ultraphonic 50192 mono VG++/VG+(+) 1958 $8
Budget label cash-in LP with big band and swing tunes masquerading under
the guise of rock and roll (it ain't). Cheezy cover of a beach babe
frolicking in the surf. Name wofc. Few light surface marks, plays
like new, which is pretty good for these budget labels. With "Divorce Me
C.O.D", "The Screwdriver No. 2", more.

Bob Crewe Generation- Music To Watch Birds* By. DynoVoice DY 31902 stereo
Still Sealed $20 *"English slang: referring to women or young girl who
has qualities that evoke feeling of flight in men" sez the liners. Fat
fold out cover.
Don Costa's Free Loaders- Music To Break A Sub-Lease. ABC Paramount ABCS-
212 VG++/VG+ stereo $7 Less common follow-up LP to his Music To Break
A Lease LP. This one's in stereo too.
Wes Harrison- The One And Only. 1960's private issue, stereo, autographed
VG+/VG+ Only sold by him from his home via mail order. He is "Mr. Vocal
Sound Effects" and previously did cartoon sound effects, 20,000 Leagues
Under The Sea, Peter Pan and more Disney work. Probably the inspiration
for the "Police Academy" movie guy, as the material is similar. Simply
amazing and another one of a kind. Recorded live. $25
Music of Ingram Walters-Themes from Motion Pictures and TV Soundtracks/Suite
for Piano. private LP no label 1960s homemade cover VG++/VG++ $35
Film noir/melodrama-ish music to set movie moods to. Might be a demo LP
or released by him from his own tapes. Very obscure. Song
titles are: God's House (Main Title), Rape Scene, Beach Love Theme,
Nightmare (montage), Strange Journey, Abortion Theme, Necklace Theme, Time
Of Decision, Pawnshop Scene and Necklace Theme, Death Scene and End Title.
That's all on side 1! Side 2 is less interesting as it has the piano suite
and some B'way type big band sound. There is cool voice over
soundclips of the Philip Morris and The Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball Shows.
This is the epitome of weird, cool and strange.
Celanese Presents The Spring Thing- NBC promo for the TV show aired 4/28/69
With Noel Harrison/Bobbie Gentry/Harper's Bizarre/Rod McKuen/Shirley
Bassey. But wait! Side 2 is an all MOOG synthesizer feast by Celanella,
performing variations on her theme from the commercial messages in "The
Spring Thing". RARE!!! M-/M- TRADE FOR RARE PSYCH/HARDROCK ONLY
Ballentine Presents- Music To Sell Ballantine Beer By. Private company one-
sided advertising LP, pressed by Columbia mono 1960 Comes in paper
sleeve. "...this record contains 9 of the greatest musical variations on
our 'Hey, getcha cold beer' theme you've ever heard! Put them all together
and you've got Ballantine Beer's terrific new radio jingle campaign for
1960..." I couldn't have said it better. Sleeve is rather ratty around
the edges so VG. Disc is a solid VG+. All vocal solos by Eugenie Baird.
Mega-rare. $45
Squirt Does Its Thing- Semi-Soft Music in Tijuana Style. Mark 56 570 1970
M-/VG+(+) In shrinkwrap $25 Amazing product record! Done up by George
Garabedian for Squirt soft drink, this features the specially composed
"Tequila And Squirt" tune.
Excellent cover with a barefoot blonde babe sitting on the floor with her
portable record player, Squirt in hand, as she rocks to Disraeli Gears and
Magical Mystery Tour! Mostly Herb Alpert covers but this is just too cool.

Jerry Baker- Plants Are Like People. Lion 1973 Promo, Sealed $6
Based on his book of the same name, this LP helps you "learn to
understand what the inhabitants of your garden is saying". Hello?
I'll bet this guy digs Guided By Voices today!!
Fred Bear- Secrets Of Hunting (as told to Curt Gowdy). Bear Archery 1968
M-/M- mono Tell all expose on how to successfully bow hunt. I'll bet
Ted Nugent endorses this one! On a small label out of Grayling, Mich
which happens to be a big deer hunting town during hunting season, as
well as where the Nuge owns acres and acres of property to conduct his
own bow-hunting. Great (or not so great, depending on where your heart
is) back cover pics of 8 trophy kills featuring Fred and his unlucky
"friends" (bear, elephant, moose, etc). $7
Voices Of The 20th Century. Coral mono late 50s EX/VG+ Narrated by Henry
Fonda. Fat fold-out cover with 4 inside pages of notes. Obscure
release. $5
A Musical Seance Featuring Rosemary Brown. Philips stereo 1970 VG+/M- $10
white label promo, insert, fold out cover, top ss 30%
A lost release from this label. Premise is that Ms Brown was visited
by the spirits of Beethoven Brahms, Chopin, etc and "revealed" new piano
pieces by them to play. Of course these visits took place in her sleep/
dreams. A supposed "occult" miracle. Also with Peter Katin. Very
strange.
