Harmonicats and Harmonica Music Albums
The Harmonicats, Jerry Muradi, Great Love Songs from the Movies. Columbia HS 11181. Nothing quite like listening to love songs played on the harmonica. “A Kiss to Build a Dream On,” Theme from El Cid, “Love is a Many-Splendored Thing,” “Tender is the Night.” Yep, really puts my wife in the mood.
Then we have the opposite. The Harmonicats Featuring Heartaches. Pickwick Mercury SPC 3108. Previously released. This was popular enough to warrant a second release on a different label.
I have a few other harmonica vinyl LPs. I had no idea that harmonica music was so popular! After listening to a few, I still don’t know why.

I’m sure there are some people that bought that first album just for the cover. I know plenty of people who have done that. I’ve done it myself. Sometimes the music on the album was good and other times it was crappy. It all depends I guess.
Keith, you are so right about that. I’ve bought plenty of albums/CDs for the cover alone.
I would say 1/3 of my records I brought because the covers jumped out at me in the record shop! some good music can be found this way but not always.
