Yes, you are looking at an autographed copy of Organ Stop Pizza. Terrific cover of Rhodes (not a stunt double) fearlessly perched on top of a step ladder in front of the Organ Stop Pizza

Organ Stop Pizza is an actual operating pizza parlor located in Mesa, Arizona.  They still engage excellent organ artists to entertain guests.

Never in my life would I have guessed this record, found in an antique store, would amount to more than  an oddball event lost to history. Now I know that some good things in life persist and feature a salad bar!

The Miracle At Christmas
Bill Walters Sings Ruth Lyons Christmas Songs
Jewel Records JRC 86044

This is a great local lounge styled album.

Ruth Lyons was a local fixture on TV here in Cincinnati (hosting a variety show). She and her "gang" also produced a number of Christmas LPs. According to the notes, Walters was a cast member of Lyon's 50/50 Club for 20 years.

According to the notes, the cover illustration is inspired by the "title tune of the album", The Miracle At Christmas. Not actually a song, but a poem. The drawing was done by "another warm and sensitive person and good friend", Phil Ohlms. It was meant to capture "that very special meaning of Christmas".

Miss Teal Joy

Ted Steel Presents
Miss Teal Joy
AAMCO Records ALPS-75

1957

From the back cover: About Teal Joy - The classic remark made by a normally unconcerned engineer on this recording session, I feel, most truly describes the unmatched excitement of everyone here at AMCO. I quote: "This album will bring back music."

New superlatives must be found to describe the talent and versatility of Miss Teal Joy. I've lived music and the music business for many more years then I would care to mention, working with giants like Perry Como, and Frank Sinatra. I've worked likewise with the newcomers, many of whom I have been fortunate enough to start on their climb to stardom.

But I have never been so positive of greatness as I am now. Miss Teal Joy: This young lady was singing in the Bamboo Club in Atlantic City, practically on the doorstep of the recording center of the world and virtually unnoticed, when I stopped in. Now I am so grateful that I was the one to come along and be completely stunned by her immeasurable talent and taste.

I have now an opportunity to create with, what I consider, the greatest new voice in the last decade.

Teal Joy is a rarity in that she has the emotion and technical "feel" for every  kind of music, as demonstrated in the variety of songs chosen for this album. Born in Seattle, Washington, Teal is of Japanese, French, and Peruvian descent, which I am sure imparts to her interpretation of these songs much of the rich emotional color and understanding, delicacy, and mystery of many cultures. And at the same time, her renditions of the bright tunes is strongly reminiscent of the jazz greats.

Because of her amazing versatilely I felt that we needed three distinctly different sounds to showcase Teal properly. Three different orchestras, comprised of the outstanding names in the music world were called in to do this album. A complete 25-piece production orchestra was used on the "Misirlou," "Sorrento," "Cumbanchero" and "Let's Fall In Love" numbers. A "wailing" jazz band for the up tunes and the simple sensitivity of lush strings – rhythm, wood-winds, horn, and harp for the delicate ballads like "Easy To Remember."

Listen to Teal Joy. You will discover, as I did, a 'once-in-a-lifetime" talent. This album is the first. You will hear Teal Joy many times again. – Ted Steele

The Young Sound '70
Out Of Sight Hits For The Now People
Somerset SF-34400

Somerset had no idea what the 1970  "Young Sound" actually sounded like. Maybe they did, but did not have the money to spend to compile the actual hits of the period. The set is a mess. A few tunes seem to be the originals while others are not, including the lame lead track (sample above, originally recorded by The Shocking Blue in 1969).

Other songs... sound like early 60s or even 50s stock stuff, tracks that they found who knows where. They also threw in a song titled Model "T" which is a novelty instrumental as well as a gospel number that someone rearranged to be "hip".

From the back cover: A program for young people of some of the top hits of today. You can dance, sing or listen to this great album.

This album is a totally whacked.

When you first look at the cover you think "Walt Disney", right? Wrong... these characters are complete rip offs of the well known brands. And if you listen to the record, "The Cookie Gobbler" is a rip off of The Cookie Monster (Sesame Street).

I can't believe Peter Pan took the infringement risk when they released this LP.

Nino Tempo's Rock 'N Roll Beach Party

Nino Tempo's Rock 'N Roll Beach Party

Producer: Warren Kerr

Engineer: Stan Ross

Cover Photography: Gene Lester

Recorded in Hollywood during August of 1956
Liberty Records LRP 3023
1956

From the back cover: Nino Tempo's Rock And Roll Beach Party features the new rage of the bobby sox crowd. Nino's star has been rising steadily since he was featured in the 20th Century-Fox musical, "The Girl Can't Help It," Columbia's "Eddy Duchin Story" and with leading roles in two picture now before the cameras. 

Nino was destined to become a musical success. How could he miss? At the age of five, he walked away with the grand prize on Major Bowes' Amateur Hour. His scat-singing completely captivated the massive radio audience and led to guest appearances with Benny Goodman at Madison Square Garden and with Glenn Miller's great band.

Nino's study of the clarinet, and the later transition to the tenor sax, began when he was ten years old... a show business anomaly... a washed-up singer at the age of ten. Though his singing career was called off due to new sounds, Nino never lost the spontaneous rhythmic feel inherent in all successful singers.

His proficiency as an instrumentalist led to a featured spot with Maynard Ferguson and, later, with the Lighthouse All Stars. Despite these successes, Nino's ambition is to make good as a singer and actor. His many screen credits and the constant demand for his services make such a goal certainly within the realm of reason.
