Oh dear. The Alice in Wonderland cover has a distinct soft porn air about it.

Anyone know why "ice capades" is two words, if it's a play on the singular word "escapade"? It could at least have a hyphen: ice-capades.

@Mark (or Teresa) – hope you don't mind me pointing it out, but there's a typo in the headline: it should be 'old', not 'olf'.

Fixed. I was wondering what an olf was.

Bwahahaha! I was so distracted by hot Alice and her furry friends, I failed to notice the headline.

Was that a test?

Ain't no "soft core" about it! Furries, food, and ersatz pedophilia?

I like how they had the title and a photo for the cover but didn't want to work too hard to put them together nicely, so they just bounced the "L" off the rabbit's ear.

MDHATTER is that you welcoming Alice into the "teacup?"

Please note: Some LP covers on the site, especially some foreign ones, may be deemed NSFW (depending upon your workplace's policies of course): semi-nude women for the most part; also there are some X-rated party records - I didn't necessarily read the covers entirely there might be some words there offensive to your more puritanical co-workers, for example.

It's definitely a great site, though.

Yeow! The site also has a cover from an underwater version of Alice in Wonderland, as performed at the Wiki Watchee mermaid park.

And an album based on a cheap cartoon I barely remember, Mighty Hercules! It has a really catchy theme song . . . something about fire in his eyes and iron in his thighs.

Hey! The Mighty Hercules is the basis of all male homosexuality in America in the early sixties. I still get, um, a funny feeling when I hear that theme song.

Hercules! something of song and story
Hercules! Winner of ancient glory
fighting for the right
fighting with his might
with the strength of ten
ordinary men
something something, Hercules!

(remember most of it anyway)

...it's the sound of Hercules?
it doesn't make sense, but that's what I remember of the last line.

I must have missed the underwater Alice - did you follow the Older Entries link, S. Jones?

EUSTACE@19, 20: It's on the same page as the "Alice" above. You have to click the "earlier" links a bit now to find it.

I remember watching Hercules. Indeed, his tunic was a little too short...

We had a different version of the Herkules song. I only remember it from the 2nd line, which went:

Herkules! Made up of cheese and baloney
Fighting for his life
with a rubber knife
with the strength of ten
plastic army men
etc.
