The Best of Peter and Gordon
How can you resist buying this record for $0.99 from Joe's Record Paradise? Someone back in the day clearly cared enough about this album to create a new handmade painted cover made from a paper bag. Did this record lose its sleeve or do we have an arts and crafter who did this to all their vinyl? Regardless, this cover is awesome and deserves a blog. The music is good, nothing to write home about. The Beatles wrote for these guys, so the album is a cross between the Fab Four's lyrics and guitar and the harmony of the Everly Brothers. Not too shabby. But seriously, back to the cover. I can see the pencil of the cursive handwriting as the first draft of the cover before the owner painted it. The paper is even shellacked or finished in some way to keep it from aging. Nice craftsmanship.
