Swingle Singers - Swingle II Baroque

More Swingling, this time from the 1970's, and with a bass and keyboards accompanying those distinctive voices. This album also receives an honourable mention in the Mr Snookles "Most Attractive Album Cover" awards. Sadly the back cover is damaged, but I included a scan as it has portraits of the Swingles, so you can put a face to the voice...

Gibson Les Paul Supreme Gold Top

Custom binding all around is just the start of the Gibson Les Paul Supreme Gold Electric Guitar's distinctive looks. Feast your eyes on the deluxe pearl-on-ebony fingerboard inlays; gold frets; and an abalone, pearl, and brass globe inlaid on the Gibson LP headstock. The classic and much loved Gold Top finish has never looked better, and the mahogany back adds warm and resonance to the already sweet tone. A chambered Les Paul Guitar body takes a load off your shoulder and enhances resonance to aid the 490R and 498T alnico humbuckers in generating miles of smooth sustain. The Les Paul Supreme Electric Guitar includes a Gibson hardshell case.
