Ran up on the site while woolgathering about my childhood and web surfing. It got me to thinking about all the records from the 1950s that were somehow in and about my rather eclectic family where I grew up here, there and everywhere from Texas to both coasts and back again--

Records that nobody will probably ever see again.

I spent a few hours and came up with these that run the gamut from "I know every song on the LP" to "I seem to recall that album cover."

If any of these ring a bell, let me know:

Some places in Kansas like that, lots of 'em really around the USA, White Castle started in Kansas, I did not know that, I found that upon investigating Cozy Inn in Salinas Kansas, started in the 1920s, little hamburgers the same way.

Those are prety risque album covers! Who approved that one with the naked lady wrapped in celophane and featuring Pat Boone, the Lennon Sisters, and Lawrence Welk? That does not look like something any of those artists would approve.

I don’t believe one person or one family could have all those records.

Oh, WOW WOW WOW WOW, I haven't enjoyed a long scroll through photos on my computer this much in a LONG time!!!!! "Rather ecclectic" family -- I want to meet you all!! WHAT a great collection! What fun!!

Thanks so much for posting this -- it really is a pleasure and a hoot!!! Who would ever connect Jack Webb with "romantic reflections," or even knew that Robert Conrad sang!!! {^) And I love the Pat Boone Christmas album ... with the nude lady wraped in celophane!!! Wilder and Wilder! And what a VERY COOL jazz collection. I drool over quite a few of them.

I mean ... it has “Dracula Cha Cha — the Transylvania Polka,” right underneath “Clint Eastwood sings Cowboy Favorites.” Makes me miss vinyl!

Is this Jayne Mansfield falling out of her dress?

Did you realize that she's the mother of Mariska Hargitay of Law & Order, SVU fame? I keep trying to see a resemblance between the two and can't -- other than their statuesue physiques. Facially, they don't look alike.
