Easy On The Eye – Ladies of Easy Listening Record Covers

From the hundreds, thousands of easy listening cheese records you can buy in firth stores, charity shops and bargain bins for anything from a few pence to a grand sum of 50p one thing you can be certain of is the amount of covers aimed at selling to us fellas. Strings and orchestras under the influence of a band leader, conductor happily means you can get a sexy gorgeous lady selling the goods. Most of the records are pretty bad but I’m a sucker for a lovely looking girl smiling at me from the dusty boxes especially when my knees and back are hurting from the bending down record digging. So 50p for a sweet girl and maybe the chance of some super strings to brighten the day, the record has to be bought. Here’s a little selection of some of the records purchased over the years, some good some pretty bad but all have a certain charm that a vinyl junkie just loves.
Unfortunately the ladies rarely get a mention, so who any of them are? I won’t have a clue. Hope you enjoy the look at what only can be described as perv corner!! Hehe

The Latin Sound Of Henry Mancini – RCA
Jeez this girl is mighty fine!

The World Of Easy Listening Vol 4 – Decca
Not leaving much to the imagination, steamy. Not seen the other volumes of ladies!

Stereo Perspectives In Percussion – Marble Arch
Gatefold sauciness! Naked lady and a whole drum kit. Now that’s what I’m talking about. Photo By John Prosser.

Back To Brazil – RCA
Hello! Pretty good music on this one too.

Black Is Beautiful – Windmill Records
This has been one of my treasures. So love the design and used it as a logo since I first started Mad Mongos. Lovely lady, needlework and butterflies.

Stereo 99 Volume 2 – Polydor
Double vision of this lovely lady. Super cover design by Hamish and Gustav whoever they maybe?

Michel Legrand – Beautifully Yours – Springboard
Always worth picking up a Michel Legrand lp when you see it. Normally a few great arrangements on them. Plus some nice girls too. This record has some top tunes on, worth picking up.
Here’s three Legrand’s in a row.

Michel Legrand With His Orchestra And Voices – Lovers Concerto – Polydor Special

Michel Legrand And His Orchestra – Strings On Fire – Philips
Nice and bonkers cover. Sexy lady on one side, fire on the other?

Blues And Brass – Deacon Stereo
The exciting combination of blues and brass seems to have made this black chick rip her clothes off and grab a trumpet!
I love the quote on the back cover “A tremendous rhythm section! A terrific instrumentalist! A great brass section! It all adds up to excitement which is Blues and Brass!!”

The Hits Of Burt Bacharach By The Singers And Chorus Of Manhattan – Spectro – Stereo Dimension
Looking very thoughtful chilling in the ferns!

Gunter Kallmann Choir – Somewhere My Love – Contour
Wide eyed and fancy free!

Duncan Lamont – Summer Sambas – MFP
Everyone loves a bit of of samba when the sun starts shining and this gorgeous beauty would be mighty fine to dance with. As with all the covers there is no mention to the models. Photographed by Dick Swayne he did work for Duncan Lamont’s other lp below with the same girl on the same shoot day I can only imagine.

Duncan Lamont – Best Of The Bossa Novas – Music For Pleasure
She so nice I wanna see her twice! Unfortunately I can’t seem to stop the reflection when taking images of the covers so my hands seem to be an a naughty place?

Chico And His Orchestra – Mambos And Boleros – ARC Records
To march us out of here and finish the gallery of lovely ladies, here’s a dancing booty, shaking maracas, what’s not to like. Cha cha cha
