All' Round The World

There's something about these homemade covers that attracts me for some reason. I mean, all the covers you see are made by someone, and they're frequently hand-drawn artwork, but I mean the ones that don't have any fancy typography or photos or even solid geometric layouts. The whole thing is drawn by hand from start to finish. Like this one for an example. OK, it does have some standard fonts in there, and a picture of the artists, but the rest of it was clearly drawn by someone. Maybe I don't have a clear enough idea in my head what I'm trying to say, it's early. I'll just shut up and tell you to download The Martins-Merry Christmas-Christmas Around The World With The Martins (DMM Records DMCLP2810, Stereo). Enjoy! This is the only Christmas album I've ever seen that features a selection from Hamlet...

  1. Gave a listen and... enjoyed it:) Although it's not a masterpiece in any way, but still interesting and quite enjoyable:) During listening tried to find any information about them or record label, but alas

    1. Yeah, the name is too generic to narrow it down much. Hopefully something will turn up somewhere someday. :)
