Well Gandalfe brought him up<\/a>, so how could I not write something about the album covers of Fausto Papetti?<\/p>\n

Fausto Papetti was an Italian alto saxophonist who was incredibly prolific. He released approximately 2 albums per year.\u00b9 His popularity was at its peak during the 1960s and 70s, when all his releases hit the top of the European Hit Parade charts.<\/p>\n

After his third album in 1962, Papetti’s albums were numbered sequentially, and later titled Raccolta <\/em>as well\u2014which Google translates as collection<\/em>. Papetti’s best selling album was Raccolta 20<\/em>, which was released in 1975.<\/p>\n

In addition to these sequentially numbered albums, Papetti also released themed albums. In total, before his death in 1999, Papetti released 50 Raccolta<\/em> albums, over 40 singles, and 1 EP. As I said, the man was a very prolific recording artist.<\/p>\n

Papetti’s albums are generally characterized by the female nudes that grace the covers. However, as the first couple of album covers I have included here illustrate, the evolution from intimately clad to unclad came over time.<\/p>\n

As the social norms changed, so did the album covers. Also remember the man was Italian, and Europeans are much more open-minded about nudity than North Americans.<\/p>\n

This cover from the 1982 album My One And Only Love,<\/em> is pretty much what one would expect from a Papetti album based on his previous cover art.<\/p>\n

However, I was really quite surprised to see this alternate cover on eBay as well. This was the only cover like it that I saw for this album. I don’t know if it was for a particular country, or a particular market, or what. It certainly doesn’t fit in with the rest of Papetti’s covers.<\/p>\n

She has that Billy Idol look<\/a> going for her doesn’t she?<\/p>\n

Papetti’s music can be described as easy listening, or perhaps early smooth jazz. His covers of popular songs lent themselves to being used as background music in restaurants, caf\u00e9s and the likes. His version of Barry White’s Love’s Theme<\/em>\u2014from his 18 Raccolta<\/em>\u2014was featured on Ultimate Breaks and Beats<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps my favourite Papetti album cover of all comes from the 1984 Sax’ Idea<\/em> album. Haven’t we all been in this situation at times? I know I have. I’ve just not usually been wearing stilettos when it’s happened. \":mrgreen:\"<\/p>\n
