I know some of you are already well aware that babe musicians existed in the thrilling days of yesteryear, and that the promotion of babes is by no means a recent phenomenon (even though babe marketing has certainly taken off in the last decade or so). But I kind of need to be reminded of it every so often, and I was looking for pictures of Maria Tipo, contemporaneous to her Vox recordings of Mozart Concerti and Scarlatti Sonatas from the 50's (pre-stereo) as I just ripped these CD's onto iTunes. The picture I decided to use for my "roll your own" album cover was this one: Man, that looks like some publicity photo from a '50's Hollywood starlet. And that Sophia-Loren-like lower lip - yes! Tipo was quite the 50's babe!
