I've always admired the art on the back of records produced in the late 50's and 60's, it always seemed just as engaging as the art that would grace the cover, but take a back burner to the song list or artist/recording information. Though I don't know if they have any hawaiian/polynesian themed records, the Command record label has a series of loungy records that use line art for the cover. Even though the artistic style is a little more subdued and not as eye catching as vivid colors or photographs (of girls!) the simplicity I think stands on it's own. Charles Magnante's Italian Accordian is the only image I have on this computer. I'll have to go through my other computer for more images: The music is outstanding, by the way, if you're interested in italian lounge or parisian lounge.
