Emenee Chocolate Factory (1966)
Before there was a Food Network "Unwrapped", this is how kids learned about chocolate molds.
Today, it would be probably just be an iPhone app called "Angry Chocolate Factory Zombie Missiles".

1966: New York State Vacationlands Guide
It was all so simple (and bright). New York State (and city) billed in print as a tourist destination, 1966.

Vintage Vinyl Therapy: "Not Without My Wife, You Don't!" (1966)
"Listen, Daddy, baby...
You can have my bread and my gravy...
Crazy baby, crazy...
BUT NOT WITH MY WIFE, YOU DON'T!"
A zany, kooky, madcap Swingin' Sixties romp deserves a fittingly festive soundtrack and sleeve.
God bless 1966 and albums like this one. Perfection from start to finish.

1960s Expedition: Oceanic Sphere

Jacques Cousteau and his crew on an 1966 oceanic expedition, in and out of their giant sphere.
Yes, you could TECHNICALLY say they all live in a yellow submarine.

1966: Mr. Buddwing On Vinyl
A recent eBay win: a clean copy of Kenyon Hopkins' 1966 soundtrack to Delbert Mann's film entitled Mr. Buddwing. I caught part of this film on TCM a few months ago and enjoyed what I saw of James Garner, Jean Simmons, Suzanne Pleshette and Angela Lansbury tremendously. Then, of course, there is the music... and this gorgeous LP cover.
