Producer Norman Granz explains "In 1972, on the anniversary of Cole Porter's death, I decided to observe this event by recording Ella Fitzgerald in a new album of his material -- much of which had been dormant for years. True, in the late 1950's, I had recorded her in what, I submit, was the definitive interpretation of Porter, as he himself indicated. . . . This album differs from the earlier one in that Nelson Riddle does the arrangements. The tunes were those Ella felt she would like to re-record as well as some material that had inadvertently been overlooked in the earlier Verve recordings. . . ." Includes "I've Got You Under My Skin," "Just One of Those Things," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "Anything Goes," etc. Nelson Riddle conducts; J.J. Johnson, trombone; Louie Belson, drums; lots of woodwinds. Reduced from $14.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm RCA Victor "Long Play" (mono) record album, "very good" vinyl in a very-good-plus cardboard jacket. Lee Remick was pretty, vulnerable and well cast here as the bank teller being terrorized into helping arrange a theft from her bank. As to whether she was quite so well-endowed as portrayed on this album jacket we must plead ignorance (unless she was still breast-feeding little Matthew, born in June of '61.) Perhaps how a bank teller could afford to live alone in a spacious two-story house (since demolished) at 100 St. Germain Ave. in the Clarendon Heights district of San Francisco (probably $100,000 then, now a cool $2 to $3 million) was explained in the Gordons' original novel, "Operation Terror," on which they based this screenplay. The Blake Edwards film also starred Stefanie Powers as the teen-age sister and Glenn Ford as the G-man, who of course assures Lee he'll keep them both safe . . . at which point Powers promptly gets kidnapped. Mancini's score includes several "Twists, utilizing the current dance craze," as well as "Nancy," "Teen-age Hostage," and "Last Out at Candlestick Park.".

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Back cover photo by Jim Frawley (illustrator). 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm stereo vinyl record album, Elektra EKS-74012, near-mint vinyl in a near-mint glossy cardboard jacket (slight ringwear just starting to bottom of the verso.) Starting to shift away from more traditional "Folk Music" (though she'd always conceded the post-war "Folk" revival was more a phenomenon of the Urban Left than of the hills and hollows) Miss Collins' top charting album (it climbed to Number 5) contains her Top 10 hit version of Joni Mtchell's "Both Sides Now," Joni Mitchell's "Michael from Mountains," Leonard Cohen's "Sisters of Mercy," "Priests," and "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye," and three of her own originals, including "Since You Asked.".

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm vinyl "James Bond" motion picture soundtrack album, UAL 4132, very-good-plus "High Fidelity" (mono) vinyl in a near-mint glossy color cardboard jacket. Vinyl shows a few small scuffs and one long, hairline scratch which cannot be felt to Side Two. This was director Terence Young's third and final Sean Connery/James Bond film (he skipped "Goldfinger"); former Miss France Claudine Auger, though certainly physically fit, proved one of the less memorable Bond Girls. (Producer Cubby Broccoli's original choice was Julie Christie, though once he actually met her he was disappointed and turned his attention to Raquel Welch. Welch, however, had committed to film the unfortunate "Fantastic Voyage" that year. Meantime, Saltzman and Broccoli auditioned an extensive lineup of relatively unknown European actresses and models, including former Miss Italy Maria Grazia Buccella, Yvonne Monlaur of the Hammer horror films, and Gloria Paul. Auger was eventually cast, though her lines were dubbed in the final cut by Nikki Van Der Zyl, who had voiced several previous Bond girls. (They wouldn't have had to dub Jill St. John, then 25, would they?) The most successful Bond film, once ticket sales are adjusted for inflation; it's the one with the lengthy underwater fight scenes, as illustrated in the uncredited jacket art. Here reduced from $25.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Jacket photo by Angus McBean (illustrator). Not a book but an unopened, 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm stereo vinyl record, London OS 25992, presumed mint vinyl still sealed in original publisher's shrink-wrap. Selections from "Conversation Piece," "Bitter Sweet," "Operette," and "Pacific 1860," (originally performed on the London stage 1929-1954), with the guest appearance by Noel Coward himself on "Dearest Love" from "Operette" (which show opened March 16, 1938 at His Majesty's Theatre, starring Peggy Wood.) Jacket notes by Miles Kreuger. "Play this record only on stereophonic equipment." This record, still sealed, was acquired from the estate of Howard Hughes' right-hand man Robert Maheu, at the sale of Mr. Maheu's estate at his Las Vegas (Nevada) home, Nov. 15, 2008, though it does not display any ownership markings. Robert Aime Maheu, World War Two veteran of the FBI whose later work for the CIA was said to have been the model for the TV show "Mission Impossible," became the reclusive Howard Hughes' right-hand man in Las Vegas in the 1960s, though he never met Hughes face-to-face, receiving his instructions via memo and telephone. Reduced from $17.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm stereo vinyl movie score LP, United Artists Records UA-LA372-G, mint vinyl in a near-mint cardboard jacket which has been opened and which shows a quarter-moon "cut-out" to top corner, but which still wears its original shrink-wrap.Includes "News Reel of the Life of Charles Foster Kane."

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm "Long Playing Microgroove Spectra-Sonic-Sound" (mono) vinyl Hollywood motion picture soundtrack LP, Liberty LRP 3036, near-mint vinyl in a very-good-plus glossy color cardboard jacket. Chandler -- a competent performer who somehow never made Hollywood's "A" list -- played a Union Army Major assigned to supervise the post-war "Reconstruction" of Kennesaw Pass, Georgia, a town whose remaining residents -- having had plenty of the Union Army when William Tecumseh Sherman passed through -- did not seem likely to prove very cooperative. Joanne Dru and Julie London co-starred in the 1957 film which "introduced Ronald Howard." (probably the thirty-ish son of British actor Leslie Howard, who'd already played Sherlock Holmes on British TV, rather than future director Ron "Opie" Howard, who was three years old at the time.) There's no indication Julie London was allowed to sing. There are catalogs which contend this Elmer Bernstein movie soundtrack album is worth $150, but (while it is indeed uncommon) we'd like to know where. We started this one at $40, now reduced to $9. No known connection to any board game invented by Ernie Kovacs.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 10-inch, 33-1/3 rpm vinyl record album, MGM Unbreakable Long Playing Microgroove (mono) E-516, very-good-plus vinyl in a very-good-plus cardboard jacket. Film biography of songwriters Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby, played by Astaire and Skelton, the unlikely duo offering "So Long, Ooh-Long," etc., though the prize here is doubtless Helen Kane's (the Betty Boop gal's) rendition of "I Wanna Be Loved By You." (Did Kane really dub the song for young Debbie Reynolds, whose similar dubbing for Jean Hagen became a major plot point two years later in Gene Kelly's "Singin' in the Rain"?) This album catalogs $60 in "near-mint," though we've graded this one a bit lower. Reduced from $14.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm stereo vinyl record, Tetragrammaton Records T-5000, near-mint vinyl in a very-good-plus cardboard sleeve. Dumb movie (despite the foreshadowings of "Thelma and Louise"), lovely Marianne, lots of leather. The movie was presumably a tad more erotic than the soundtrack, but the soundtrack is what we've got. It is uncommon. Reduced from $80.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Photos by Phillip March Studios (illustrator). Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm vinyl record album, Reprise R-6010, very-good-plus vinyl in a very good cardboard jacket. (Previous owner placed small pieces of Scotch Tape to center of top and bottom edges of jacket, where it was beginning to split.) The coast-to-coast television show -- a rapid-fire stream of comedy sketches, gags and puns, many of which resulted in Sales receiving a pie in the face, which became his trademark -- started in Cincinnati, moved to Detroit and ran nationwide on ABC from KABC-TV in Los Angeles, airing every weekday, 1953-1964, finally moving to New York through 1966. Screen Gems syndicated 260 episodes to local stations outside the New York market during the 1965-66 season, which marked the height of Sales' popularity. It featured guest appearances by stars such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis, Jerry Lewis, and Judy Garland, as well as musical groups including the Shangri-Las, The Supremes and The Temptations. Sales was hired as a Tonight Show guest host in the period between Jack Paar and Johnny Carson. From 1968 to 1975, he was a regular panelist on the syndicated revival of "What's My Line?".

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm stereo vinyl soundtrack record album, Colgems COSO -5005, very-good vinyl LP in a very-good cardboard jacket. Yes, after Cubby Broccoli and Co. had produced four successful James Bond films with Sean Connery -- and introducing the magnificent Ursula Andress -- Charles Feldman managed to convince Colgems (you know -- The Monkees) that he had to run through five directors (including John Huston, Ken Hughes, and Val Guest) to complete this bizarre and overwrought James Bond "parody," starring Woody Allen as James Bond, David Niven as James Bond, Terence Cooper as James Bond, with an additional cast including Peter Sellers, Joanna Pettet, Ursula Andress, Daliah Lavi, Orson Welles, Deborah Kerr, William Holden, Charles Boyer, Jean Paul Belmondo . . . anyway, the soundtrack is of excellent quality, believe it or not. The film made money despite terrible reviews (Time Magazine calling it "an incoherent and vulgar vaudeville.") But this "original soundtrack" album, oddly enough, was regarded by some critics as the finest-sounding LP of all time, famous among audio purists for the excellence of its recording, becoming a standard "audiophile test" record, especially the vocal performance by Dusty Springfield on "The Look of Love." (Though note this copy is NOT "near mint," exhibiting some light scratches which cannot be felt. Also beware of post-1990 re-releases, as the highly regarded master tapes were reportedly damaged during a 1990s remastering.) Produced by Phil Ramone. Reduced from $17.
