COOL ALBUM COVERS: LOUNGE, POPULAR, JAZZ.

I love old vintage cool album covers, even some very camp ones, because they're fun to collect, and its a lost era of design. Some LP covers become iconic for their design or illustration, others for grabbing attention for their over the top models and layout. A lot of orchestrated covers had to grab our attention in some way, so glamorous women often adorned these L.P's, or a sight gag or theme. Sex sells of course, and people bought these L.P's because they sold a lifestyle or a theme you wanted to experience. Soft music for a candlelight dinner, Esquivel or Dave Brubeck for a swinging party. 

BRIGITTE BARDOT'S MEN: 60's SEX KITTEN SUPREME Post 1

CATWOMAN Parts 1 The amazing Julie Newmar was THE Catwoman in the classic 1960's TV show Batman. The fabulous Eartha Kitt also put her own 'purrfect' stamp on the role, and Lee Meriwether camped it up in the Batman movie. All three Catwomen appear here in the last photo at a TV LAND reunion in the late 2000's. Sadly we have lost Eartha Kitt recently. Please see CATWOMAN Post 2 below, for EARTHA KITT as Catwoman...followed by POST 3 with Lee Meriwether. I have included the CATWOMEN from the recent BATMAN and CATWOMAN movies, and also the beautiful SIMONE SIMON from the VAL LEWTON thrillers 'THE CAT PEOPLE' and 'CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE'. A few shots from CATWOMEN OF THE MOON follow. The final photo is LUCILLE BALL whipping a few Catwomen into place in the colorful sumptuous 40's movie musical THE ZIEGFELD FOLLIES.  Robbie.
