A Tribute To Bettie Page - Back To the 50s
(Cleopatra)
For centuries, artists have extolled feminine pulchritude's singular splendor and sought to capture it; sculpters in clay, painters with oils, and poets employing language of veneration. Latter-day creators have been particularly enraptured by iconic 1950s pinup Bettie Page's nonpareil beauteous aspect. And while admirers' paeans collected here were crafted in diverse forms, all were rooted in Rock'n'Roll soil. Cult Epics reissued this compilation in 2013 with a different cover. But it no longer appears on the Cleopatra or Cult Epics sites, and is today a difficult-to-locate collectible.
(Note: The present author maintains a.sizeable Bettie Page collection that includes the disc reviewed above.)
