Philips: Showcase of Hits



I bought this Johnnie Ray LP a while ago for purely musical reasons. "Cry" is great. But the cover blew me away!



Then I found this (terrible) Frankie Laine record and bought it purely for its beautiful, luminous sleeve. One day I'll get these two framed - "Frankie and Johnnie". Then I hunted round the net and found a load of images of these Philips "Showcase of Hits" records.


Doris Day.


Guy Mitchell.



Rosemary Conley.


With this reconstruction (yes you read that right...) of a Frankie Vaughan sleeve I have reached some kind of apotheosis. I suppose it's possible that this might not actually be a "Showcase of Hits" disc (the original image I found is cropped on the left and right) but I think the chances are very high.
