Oodles of Doodles LXXXIV


Some rather odd doodles for you today from The Hoffnung Interplanetary Music Festival (Angel 35800, 1958). This classical release is from the mind of Gerard Hoffnung, who is also responsible for the doodles you see here. I guess it's supposed to poke fun at classical music, or more correctly, at commercial use of classical music in things more mundane, like TV advertising. Or perhaps I don't get it at all. But it does provide for a few nice doodles. These doodles are from the cover of the LP, as well as an included booklet which attempts to describe the weird goings-on found on the record. The doodles are credited as being from various books by Mr. Hoffnung, and you can see more of them on the website linked above.
