Artist:  Jackie Gleason

Title:   Presents Lonesome Echo (Part 1 and Part 2)

Date:  1955

Label:  Capitol Records  H1 627 / H2 627

Cover Art:  Salvador Dali

Notes:  I just acquired these two 10" EPs, but haven't given them a listen yet so I can't speak for the music within. The cover art is by the incredible surrealist Salvador Dali and is an image I'm not familiar with. The subject matter, stringed instruments, butterflies and the shadows are to evoke feelings of "solitude..., fragility and a feminine element, distant and isolated." The cover presented here is from Part 1. Part2 only varies in the song titles and it says Part 2 on a white background vice the yellow of Part 1.
