Juan Luis "en la intimidad"

I believe the title of this record translates roughly to in the intimate, and man did Juan Luis nail it. A young blond girl, hair tossed about, sits on an orange couch, wrapped in a thin orange sheet, the domestic equivalent of topless at the beach, as sexy as it gets.

"On Wine"

When there's no clear vocal talent behind a record, it's almost expected, for the cover, that those responsible are to find the girl with the sexiest eyes in town, and take a big picture of her looking seductively through whatever it is the album is trying to sell. Adding wine glasses is a nice way to add a bit of class, and conveniently enough, that’s exactly what this record is about. Wine gets its own sexy record. Take that whisky.

Various Artists "The New Christy Minstrels"

Im not normally a fan of "big hair", but this girls simplicity completely forgives any complaints i might have over the inappropriate use of a blow dryer. i know others will disagree with me on the whole big hair thing, in which case, here's one we can both agree upon. the formal black dress and the bare feet suggest the end of a long night, and the expression says something of the sorts "i'm bored with you, but i already took my shoes off, so i might as well stay, i hope you can make it worth my while."

Pepe Jaramillio "Down Mexico Way"

what a gem. what an amazing treasure this record is. sex defined, dripping with watermelon juice. this may be the sexiest photograph ever of a woman wearing a sombrero. let your eyes feast upon this exquisite album cover from Pepe Jaramillo, and pray that one day you have the fortune of spending a hot muggy Mexican day with a beautiful native and a succulent watermelon

the record is from 1977. Pepe Jaramillio was putting out records for 20 years, and this was about his last. Almost every album he put out has the word Mexico ofrvTijuana in it. Both I have experience with, and both are marvelous things in their own right. A country which sustained two mighty empires, and a border town with cheap, cheap tacos, and poorly made musical equipment. It’s the colors of the streets and the buildings, the flags and the dresses. This record cover does not make me think of Tijuana, but I pray to find myself in the part of Mexico where such a fantastic scene may be found. Went out with a great cover Pepe. This is a gift to your memory.
