The 79th RMS Convention

The 79th RMS Convention was held in Strongsville, Ohio this year, right outside Cleveland. As is usual, I found lots of great stuff for my collection. Let's start with...




Bimbo's 365 Club is alive and well in San Francisco as a music venue. They still have the original sign, too. 

I don't know who the girls are, we'll call them the Sheraton sisters, but the photographer was Murray Korman, (March 16, 1902 – August 10, 1961) was an American publicity photographer. He made his reputation in New York City as a "Hollywood style high key high gloss glamour"[1] photographer whose clients ranged from showgirls to famous entertainers to members of "cafe society". Unlike other major theatrical portraitists of the time, he created his images in the camera, rather than manipulating them later at the printing stage.[1] During the height of his fame, he was considered "the expert on beauty in his time".

One of my favorite covers, this 606 Club cleverly uses just three colors to create a fantastic design.
