1968
From the back cover: The club is called the Crossway Airport Inn. A 10-piece band (all University of Miami music students) plays there. Word has gotten around that they are good – very good. It has gotten around to Al Caiola, infectious guitarist, down from New York on a vacation in Florida. Al visits. He sits. He listens. He smiles. He signs the group to record with him. And that group is on it's way. – Mort Goode

Westminster WST 15010 & WP 6081
1958
Available from online vendors, so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the cover and excerpts from the jacket.
Brewer seems to have disappeared from the public eye after making this record and TV appearances as noted below. She also appeared on one 1958 episode of the Jack Parr Show.
This set is one of Westminster's first stereo releases.
From the back cover: Mary Lou Brewer is "The Queen Of The Red-Hot Mamas"…
As a young girl in Washington, Mary Lou Brewer showed exceptional ability in the field of music, and was hardly out of school when she began to sing professionally. A radio guest shot on the Bill Herson Show resulted in return engagements which brought Mary Lou back to the program week after week, and more and more offers began to come in. She sang on the Jerry Strong Show on WMAL-TV, with The Royal Tones in the Officers Clubs at the Military bases in the Washington area, and then with Les Sand's WTTG-TV show "Sans Script." After Mary Lou had appeared on the Les Sand show twice Sand was so impressed that he became her manager and partner. More opportunities soon opened up in Washington – at the Hotel Shoreham, the Statler, and solid year in the Riviera Room of the Hotel 2400.
When the partners decided that Mary Lou was ready for the Big Time they went off to New York to audition for the Arthur Godfrey Talent Show. A week after her appearance on the Talent Show of February 17, 1958, Mary Lou got a call from the Godfrey office… "Mr. Godfrey would like to have you his morning show for a week starting this Monday."
For a week Mary Lou sang the songs that caused Mr. Godfrey to say, "We've got a new Queen of the Red-Hot Mammas." At the end of the first week she was held over for a second week, and then for a third week, with promises of return engagements of the show.
Now, for her first album for Westminster, Mary Lou Brewer offers a group of wonderful performances under the able baton of Sy Shaffer (of the Godfrey morning show). Sy, in addition to conducting the band for the session, also wrote all the sparkling arrangements.

Poems For Activity Time
Read By Eve Merriam
Caedmon TC 1339
1971
Terrific children's set that works on many levels for kids and adults alike. Great poetry read in a subtle, quite manner, live and unrehearsed manner to a group of children who spontaneously interact with Merriam.
The strange cover image in credited to "Artwork by Mazin-Wyckoff, from Caedmon's What Is Poetry? filmstrip series.
From the back cover: Although I have not made a statistical investigation, I doubt that there is a more versatile talent in this country that Eve Merriam's. Born in 1916 in Philadelphia, Eve Merriam has published twenty-eight books, and there are at least three more in the works. They include Family Circle, which was awarded the Yale Series of Younger Poets prize: Figleaf, an unreserved exposure of the fashion industry in the U.S.A.; The Double Bed and After Nora Slammed The Door, witty examinations of the war between the sees which would have startled lbsen; The Trouble With Love, a sequence of compelling poems which are both passionate and probing; Basics, subtitled "An I-Can-Read Book for Grownups;" The Inner City Mother Goose in which the old nursery rhymes are neatly turned into devastating social satire; as well as such captivating books for children as Funny Town, Miss Tibbett's Typewriter, and three volumes revealing her preoccupation with what makes poetry: It Doesn't Always Have To Rhyme, There Is No Rhyme For Silver, and Catch A Little Rhyme, some of the sources of this record. – Louis Untermeyer
The 2 Sides Of Cliff Juergens
Arranged And Conducted By Cliff Lash
Sheir 101
1966
I assume the title refers to Juergens singing some numbers while playing the trumpet on others. Stylistically, the set is all over the place.
