This also appears on iTunes. Was there a singer named Lester Young? WTF? Though actually this guy is pretty good (and in fact sounds familiar to me. When I Shazammed it took me right back to this EP.

According to the Tom Lord disco there is also a guitar player/singer called Lester Young. Lord has him on a few records in the early sixties.

Yes, there was indeed an R&B/soul singer named Lester Young. I have a few of his tracks on compilations.

But what an insane choice of album cover!

They took some risk with that cover ...

[Bill Nelson]

It officially becomes a 'hat trick' when a third label repeats this ruse. (Andorran pirates, start your engines.)

I've got a 45 with Lester Young performing "Barefootin' Time in Chinatown" It's deliberately buried DEEP in my collection with the hope I will never see - much less hear - it again

Yikes. I would be thoroughly pissed if I downloaded this music based on that cover. In the good old days, they would definitely be sued over this. Now it really isn't worth the trouble.
