Thanks to Marv for a "restoration" of Audio Lab AL-1524 which was released in March 1960. Of course the 12 sides were originally released as singles on King much earlier, in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Most of the music on this album consists of ballads which were big sellers for Bull Moose but there are a few rockers, including the risque "I Want A Bow Legged Woman" and "Sneaky Pete", and the R&B versions of two Country hits - "Cherokee Boogie" originally by "King Of The Hillbilly Piano Players" Moon Mullican, and "Why Don't You Haul Off And Love Me" which was originally by harmonica ace Wayne Raney.
Billboard, 14th March 1960
I must also thank Joan who supplied the rip of track 4, "My Little Baby" and additional artwork below:

Boogiewoody,
B.M.Jackson is back in style again ! Thanks for these appreciated posts.
Best wishes !

Many thanks for this BW...always happy to get some more Bull Moose.
(...First off . . . NOTHING "racist" intended here. . . . So, try not to read in to it ANY thing of the sort...):
I mean, the great Mr. J had a bit of a horse-y face, some might say, but really...
Absolutely incredible music housed in an inexplicably idiotic album cover design!
(And you thought some of those early James Brown and Little Willie John
KING generic jobs were bad!)
Seriously, we never saw a Hollywood Argyles LP cover with nuthin' but a plastic toy dinosaur onnit...!
I mean, a TOY DOLLS LP with a cartoon elephant, sure . . . Sheesh . . .
Hi yo, dino-saw-'er, indeed.
(...Steps off soap box...)
I'm so used to bad LP cover art that I didn't even notice this one.
Perhaps the worst LP cover from this time that I can think of is an Atlantic LP called "Rock'n Roll" which was in reality a bunch of old R&B tracks. The cover picture consisted of a small rock next to a bread roll.

Check this one out...

Oh my! A rock, a roll and some Robins (two tweety boids). Thanks B.B. Once seen, it can never be unseen. I wonder if anyone has the tracks for this LP?
BW
There was a CD reissue of these post-R&B, POP Robins tracks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The "WHIPPET" label sides now controlled by GNP-Crescendo are NOT the raucous R&B stuff as done earlier by members of the same group for RCA, Spark, Atco, etc.
In the early amateur rabid R&B rekkid round-up daze, I ordered sight unseen (without being the slightest bit familiar with the material) the '70s GNP LP re-package job and was sorely disappointed.
Thanks for the tip, B.B.
