Captain Co. pt. 7

This ad ran in FM forever and is my favorite records ad. I loved that Wally Wood cover art (top six LPs) and imagined the records had great audio adaptions of those Verne and Wells tales! I never did get them (and don't know what I'd do with them now), but I have some color photos of the covers.






















This notice is from the April 16, 1966 issue of Billboard. The LPs were rereleased on Wonderland Records in 1974.

  1. I had the War of the Worlds and First Man in the Moon albums when I was a kid... those covers really bring back memories.

  2. I'm wondering if anyone has an MP3 of any of those records on the web?
