The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed: 50th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set (2019)
One of my favorite birthday presents this year
was the deluxe 50th anniversary box set of
The Rolling Stones' classic Let It Bleed album.
The box set includes a folio which shows three
phases of concept sketches and the fully realized
album cover photo by Robert Brownjohn in a series
of hand-numbered prints. Two versions of the vinyl
album appear here as well: stereo and mono mixes.
Two CDs also contain these mixes. A 7" single
of the more rock-oriented version of "Honky Tonk
Women" in a reprint sleeve is included for your
45 RPM listening pleasure. The deluxe package is
rounded out by a poster and a beautifully designed
hardcover book which chronicles the recording
of the songs, many of which would embody all of
the passion, power, tension and tumult of the late 60s.
A very special thanks to Mom and Dad for selecting
this rare jewel from my Amazon wish list for me.
It will be enjoyed and cherished for many years.
Hey... Maybe you CAN always get whatcha want!

Tra-La-La... It's The Banana Splits!
One banana, two banana, three banana, four...
Here's a few pictures of my latest eBay score.
A four track 7-inch single made in 1969.
The Banana Splits sure knew how to have a good time!
Tra-la-la, La-la-la-la, Tra-la-la, La-la-la-la.

1969: Rowan & Martin's LAUGH IN PARTY!
A recent eBay score: Rowan & Martin's Laugh In Party.
This item is essentially a cardboard standup graphic that illustrates one of the party sequences
made famous by the comedy/variety show, which ran from 1968 - 1973. Cardboard cut-outs of
the hosts and some of the featured players can have different catch phrases, quotes and bits of
dialogue attached to the speech boxes above their heads. The set also comes with paper doll clothing for each figure. This is how people mocked up or re-experienced episodes of their favorite shows before repeat or personalized viewings of a TV program on one's own time would ever be possible.
