Oodles of Doodles CL


In the previous post, I shared a scan from a 78 RPM record sleeve, and here's a doodle from another sleeve of the same era. From Capitol Records in the early 1950's, these dancers were on the side of the sleeve entitled "Albums Designed For Dancing". Some of the albums listed include Big Band Bash by Billy May and His Orchestra, Houseparty Hop by Ray Anthony and His Orchestra, Mambo At The Mocambo by Chuy Reyes and His Orchestra, along with six LPs from the folks at Arthur Murray! The flip side to the sleeve is titled "Albums Of Unusual Interest", and features listings for records such as Top Banana by Phil Silvers, Legend Of The Sun Virgin and Voice Of The Xtabay by Yma Sumac, New Sound Volume II by Les Paul & Mary Ford, and Le Sacre du Savage and Music Out Of The Moon by Les Baxter. Unusual interest, indeed! Oddly enough, many of these releases are listed as being available on either 78, 33-1/3 or 45 RPM records. Unfortunately, I didn't get any of the records listed above. The sleeve came to me with a Doris Day record from Columbia in it. Ten Thousand Four Hundred Thirty Two Sheep from "The West Point Story". And it's a foxtrot!
