#nowplaying Mental Cruelty. 1960, Decca, mono. George Gruntz feat. Kenny Clarke & Barney Wilen. Possibly one of the rarest jazz soundtrack ever. Only 100 copies before the album was withdrawn due to legal issues. #vinyl #vinyladdict #jazz #jazzsky #soundtrack #10inchesrecords

An Asbestos-Bound, Fireproof Edition of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 (1953)
An Asbestos-Bound, Fireproof Edition of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 (1953)
