Recently I struck a fantastic vein of vinyl with covers by one of my all time favorite 20th century legends, Swiss-Italian-American artist George Giusti (1908–1991). It is always a great pleasure to come across his vibrant work. These LP covers were all birthed in the 1960s.

Hi Kate and Lesley, thanks for the comments guys! Glad you dig these too. And yep, the Discotheque is grin-worthy. Giusti kept the zany arms and legs theme in all of the series. The first volume from 1964 might be my favorite, this one from my Mom’s collection… http://www.flickr.com/photos/aqua-velvet/4289974826/
