This one is cool!!! Thanks for posting. I'm gonna make that Johnny side into a poster for my wall!
I have one of the Johnny T's on the left.
The LP was in crummy shape but I bought it for the groovy pictures of the composer, thinking if I ever get his autograph, it will HAVE to be on this one since he's on the cover!
For most Hollywood composers I don't remember being much in the dark about what they looked like...photos on LPs seemed fairly common.
I do remember being extremely curious about what Ennio Morricone looked like though. This was before the internet and his US released albums had no photos. It wasn't until a friend snagged a copy of I GRANDI TEMI DA FILM DI ENNIO MORRICONE from Footlight Records in NY that I finally saw a pic.
My good friend Peter from Liverpool doesn't post on here, but he's just reminded me that a photograph of Elmer Bernstein adorned the back cover of the original Dot Records 2-record set of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Slightly later, the Liberty Records album DRANGO featured a pic of the composer...
My very first Soundtrack LP, purchased in 1969...:-)
Of course, he would do away with the beard (his clean shaven presence is evident in the episode "Trouble In Mind" where he played one of Nancy Wilson's musicians).
