Fall and Winter 1959

Here's a cool item found in an old Elektra record.



This beautiful tri-fold 1959 catalogue illustrates the folk- and blues-oriented origins of this label.

I like the separate section for "Stereo" recordings.



I believe some of these LPs are still in print.



I kinda like the cheesy stylized seasonal graphics on these pages.



There's an excellent overview of the Jac Holzman and Elektra records story here, and an awesome discography here.
