Check out this LP -- the Al Capone Song Book! The cover is magic -- that arched eyebow, the wonky tie and crossed eyes, the only partially blacked in clothing, and the classic Capone quote -- "Live fast, die young, and have a good looking corpse".
A very rock 'n' roll sentiment, although the music itself is fairly sedate, basically a selection of big band tunes from the 1920s in the style of the times. The album's theme is reinforced by some connecting narration in a cheesy Chicago gangster voice.
Arrangements by Stan Butcher.
