I Don't Want To Cry Chuck Jackson Photo & Design: Maidoff Ward Records LP-650
Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the fantastic original cover art and jacket note excerpt.
From the back cover: It's no coincidence that Chuck Jackson's first two single hits and every additional song in this album is concerned with crying. The young man has a natural emotional inflection in his voice and, coupled with a dramatically intense delivery, just seems to lend himself ideally to this type of material.
From Billboard - November 6, 1961: This is Chuck Jackson first album and it includes two of his pervious hit singles, "I Don't Want To Cry" and "I Wake Up Crying." The chanter also gives out in his vigorous style with such other tear-stained titles as "Tears On My Pillow" and "Lonely Teardrops." In view of Jackson's recent success on the singles scene, there should be many requests to purchase his first LP from his growing number of fans.

Richard Hayman
Conducts Pop Concert In Sound!
Mercury Recording Director: Hal Mooney
Recording Engineer: Bob Fine
Mercury Records PPS 2010
1961
Front and back of the book-fold jacket feature the same design.
From the inside cover: Richard Hayman's career includes many facets: he is a composer, an arranger, a harmonica virtuoso, and a conductor. He has applied his wide-ranging talents to a broad scope of musical activities and he feels equally at home in a recording studio, on a Hollywood movie set, before the television cameras, or on the concert podium. In this Mercury Perfect Presence release, Hayman the conductor-arranger offers us a program of concert-hall evergreens. These arrangements reflect years of experience in the "pops" concert field. Since 1954, Richard Hayman has been a guest conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra and has orchestrated a large number of light classical selections for Arthur Fiedler and his renowned organization. His scoring of Victor Herbert melodies in another Mercury Perfect Presence release (PPS 2007) received critical acclaim; "Richard Hayman's arrangements are perfect to bring out the last bit of excitement without sacrificing musicality." (Billboard Music Week).
Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Richard Hayman grew up in Winthrop in the same state. Despite his present accomplishments, he is largely a self-taught musician. While still in high school, he was writing for his own harmonica group. He joined the Borrah Minevitch Harmonica Rascals after graduation and eventually arranged all the music for the nationally celebrated group. Later, he turned to the large orchestra, producing arrangements characterized by refreshing individuality. After a stay in Hollywood, where he appeared with Vaughan Monroe as arranger and harmonica soloist. He has been musical director of a number of television programs. Finally, as a successful Mercury recording artist, Richard Hayman has gained additional prestige for his skyrocketing career.

From Billboard - February 5, 1966: Labels Bat Out 'Batman' Disks
As of last week, 20 labels had released singles based on ABC-TV's "Batman" series and one label was rushing out an album. This could be a potent of things to come in the record industry, TV series about other comic book heroes are in the wind.
CBS has purchased the TV series rights for "The Shadow" and "The Phantom." "The Green Hornet" has been mentioned. There's a new "Superman" being readied.
So far, "Batman Theme" by the Marketts on Warner Bros. Records is the only one on the Hot 100 Chart – at No. 85 with a star. Bubbling under this week are "Batman" by Jan & Dean on Liberty Records and "Batman Theme" by Neal Hefti, RCA Victor Records.
Others using "Batman Theme" – the music from the show published by Miller Music – include Nelson Riddle, 20th Century-Fox; the Riddlers, Mike; the Gallants, Capitol; Peter La Bert Ellis, A&M; Al Caiola & His Orchestra, United Artist; and Link Wray, Swan.
Different tunes have been also recorded by (Jumpin) Gene Simmons, Hi; the Campers, Cameo-Parkway; Billy LaMont, Atlantic; the Plunderers, Roulette; Scotty McKay, Claridge; and the Robins, Ardent; the Spotlights, Smash. Ambassador and Golden are reported to have a kiddie version out. Panorama Records has a record out featuring Rocky & the Riddlers.
Roulette Records is rushing out an LP of Batman music. Mainstream has an LP devoted to comic heroes. Besides the singles already out, one indie producer said six different people had approached him with tapes of Batman songs.
WABC, the Hot 100 radio station here, was playing 12 records – one each hour – last week and rotating them. Then it was learned that many of the versions hadn't been authorized by the Licensing Corporation of America, which had exclusive right from the owners of the Batman copyright. Jay Emmett, chairman of the board of LCA, was extremely busy last week signing licensing agreements with those labels who'd rushed out records without first clearing. So, WABC sharply reduced the number of Batman records it was playing. WABC in the American Broadcasting outlet in New York and thereby has close ties with the TV series.
WMCA here chose one disk – the version by the Marketts – and was spinning it.

Allied Van Lines
Conducted by Dick Boyell
From the back cover: Allied Van Lines, a year and a half ago, commissioned Dick Boyell, a gifted Chicago composer, to draft a musical theme which would add color and emotion to a series of television commercials that were then in production.
With Deceptive simplicity, Boyell distilled the theme into five notes, which by now are well on the way to being the Allied logotype in sound.
