This is a photograph of a vinyl record album cover for “The Inflated Tear” by Roland Kirk. The album was released on Atlantic Records (catalog number SC 1502) and features the “New Process CSS Stereo Compatible” labeling at the top. The cover art shows a dramatic photograph of Roland Kirk, the renowned jazz multi-instrumentalist, playing what multiple wind instruments simultaneously - he was famous for his ability to play several saxophones and other wind instruments at once. He’s wearing sunglasses and the image captures him mid-performance with the instruments creating an impressive visual array. The album title “the inflated tear” is displayed in white lowercase letters, while “ROLAND KIRK” appears in large orange/yellow block letters at the top. The overall design has a stark, artistic quality typical of jazz album covers from this era (likely late 1960s). The record is being held by someone’s hand, and you can see a brick wall and some houseplants in the background, suggesting this photo was taken in someone’s home.

Another happy score at the swap meet yesterday is this original 1965 mono pressing of "Rip, Rig & Panic" by The Roland Kirk Quartet w/ Elvin Jones on drums and Jaki Byard on piano. I've only had a not so great Scorpio single-pocket reissue.This has the original spiffy gatefold with 3D fold-out liner notes that Limelight Records was doing around this time. A smoker, this is another 5buc score. Not perfect but neither are any on Discogs going for about 15 times more. Can't complain.

Vinyl Spins. The Art of Rahsaan Roland Kirk: The Atlantic Years, 1973. A fantastic 2 LP collection of his music of 1967-1973. I got this in 1974 right after seeing him live at The Main Point near Phila. Still sounds great.
