I'd forgotten how good this Lacy was and was pleasantly surprised when I listened last evening.

An amazing "period" cover ...

Another one of those covers where the record producers tried to cash in visually on the teen market.

It might be interesting to try to find out at which concert featuring which "name" artist(s) this photo was actually taken.

It's very similar to the cover of Ray Charles's "Yes Indeed!" album, isn't it?

I suspect it was a series.

 

Another such thing:

[Big Beat Steve]

I am aware of the second series (with the six smaller cover pics) which was re-used for facsimile reissues in the 80s but I cannot recall the other one with the screaming teens. Probably not used for reissues because by then it appeared too "dated" to the execs. 

This kind of cover photos showing teens in various poses of ecstasy and/or partying was used widely in the 50s, it seems, e.g. on various R&B/R'n'R compilations on Savoy, as well as a cash-in attempt elsewhere for quite unlikely acts.

I'm thinking it also made for a good display in the record stores.

Somebody at Atlantic liked that idea once in a while. Remember the records with the paintings of the artist, Tonight At Noon, etc.? That was another series they did.
