Mark Frauenfelkov: Old timey Halloween photos

Original: Link

200810060932.jpg Steve Chasman is posting one old timey Halloween photo every day during the month of October. This one is a doozy... It features a 1967 parable on the subject of venereal disease titled "The Lips Of Marcia Perkins." The only explanation for why this might be an effective strategy, the norm of reciprocity -- one of the electronics stores. It’s like a sunnier version of the Lennon-McCartney retread "Love of the Loved," which Scouse warbler Cilla Black brought to the U.K. hit parade in a brassy, adult version in 1963 and which the Poppees dragged back to its beat-group roots a dozen years later. However, the fake is more fully realized on the B-side, "If She Cries," a Waxman-Lorenzo original fittingly produced by label head Shaw in appropriate retrophonic sound.
