13 Images, Hopefully Lucky, Definitely Good & Borrowed, Returned with Thanks...

From: http://community.livejournal.com/adski_kafeteri/1445968.html

Vikki Dougan - Nicknamed "The Back" because of her dresses that were more than backless - they were cut down to just above the gluteal cleft, causing quite a commotion. The Limeliters wrote a song titled "Vikki Dougan" to commemorate this phenomenon, in which they sing of her "callipygian cleft" ("callipygian" meaning "having shapely buttocks") and beg her, "Vikki, turn your back on me". Measurements: 36-20-36 (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)

Sun Ra and his Arkestra featurig John Gilmore on Tenor Sax I don’t have any information about this as I don’t have the disc, just the cover, which is “homemade.” The back is all pasted over with gold foil and the front has hand-coloring and some stickers. I think that this covered one of Sun Ra’s records on Saturn. Any Sun Ra followers out there that can shine some light here?

It’s Super-Sonic Jazz, Sun Ra’s first record on his Saturn label. The title has been covered by the blue tape in your scan. The record originally came out in 1957 with a different cover. This one is the 1968 edition. Details, plus lots more Sun Ra minutiae, found here — http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~campber/sunra.html. Look about half-way down the page for a minty fresh scan of this record cover.

All of that is right, and this is also a fairly early release on El Saturn, with the band still in Chicago. For most of his career, Ra favored private releases and even favored raw, primitive recording conditions – even though, being the consummate jazz outsider, these conditions were as frequently motivated by finances as by design.
Because records like this were sold by The Arkestra at shows, and because they were hand covered like this, copies and track lists varied widely for years, making documentation sometimes quite difficult.

Fantastic! Thanks Phillipp and Carl. Carl, so perhaps the hand-crafted cover with the foil and stickers was sold this was at a concert? (Vs. the god-forbid thought that some kid at home defaced his dad’s valuable record?

I don’t really have a preoccupation with death, but for some reason I am endlessly compelled by the image of a skull. That said, most artistic renderings of skulls can be quite cliched. Illustrator Geordan Moore is the first person in a while who I’ve seen draw a skull in a way that I’ve never seen before.

From: http://crappytaxidermy.com/post/237037833/rat-kings-are-phenomena-said-to-arise-when-a

Rat kings are phenomena said to arise when a number of rats become intertwined at their tails, which become stuck together with blood, dirt, ice, excrement or simply knotted. The animals reputedly grow together while joined at the tails. The numbers of rats that are joined together can vary, but naturally rat kings formed from a larger number of rats are rarer. The phenomenon is particularly associated with Germany, where the majority of instances have been reported. Historically, rat kings were seen as an extremely bad omen, particularly associated with plagues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king_(folklore)

CODEX SERAPHINIANUS is an encyclopedia of a made-up universe, written and illustrated by Luigi Serafini in the 1970s. It is an imaginary record of a strange world written in an invented language, divvied up into 11 chapters. The first section appears to describe the natural world, dealing with flora, fauna, and physics. The second deals with the humanities, the various aspects of human life: clothing, history, cuisine, architecture and so on.

More than just a funky looking instrument, this oddly shaped guitar has been designed so that it records as if the person was actually playing in front of you: ‘The Stereo Acoustic Guitar directs a stereo sound towards the player, rather than a mono sound out to the listeners, as is the case with most acoustic guitars’. Nice.

Here's Robert Crumb trying to flatten a warped 78 record by heating it in the oven. It's a difficult process, and one that can easily destroy the record as well. His efforts were unsuccessful this time, and we're asking you for your help. Robert is looking for this 78 record by DOC HOPKINS — "OLD JOE CLARK" and "21 years". Released on Paramount 577. He needs a clean copy, Any leads would be appreciated.
