Was it something in Gary's water supply? Or was that the COLOR of Gary's... uh, never mind. :)<BR/><BR/>Your Baby Dolls 45 features the original Warner Bros. 45 label design, which also appeared on the label's late '50s hits like "Sixteen Reasons" and "Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)" and into the first part of 1960 ("Cathy's Clown.") By the time Bob Luman's "Let's Think About Living" came out that Fall, it wore the red/colored arrows design which was used until late 1964.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the Warner nabobs hoped that people would make that Pepto-Bismol connection with their records, somehow believing that all of that pink would coat the linings of the buyer's ears, thereby making it easier to digest the likes of the Baby Dolls and Jack "Try A Little Tenderness" Webb (WB 5003.)<BR/><BR/>Had Warners stuck with their original look, 'Music From Big Pink' might have meant something entirely different today. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661265833591750206.post-41917704074953175092008-07-15T21:24:00.000-05:002008-07-15T21:24:00.000-05:00I listened.And then was happy when the song went.....I listened.<BR/><BR/>And then was happy when the song went...<BR/><BR/>Quiet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
