Found a good double-album by Jimmie Rodgers, who was recording with A&M for a short time, entitled Honeycomb; with a beehive in a tree on the cover overlooking a countryside behind it.

The store I got it at actually had it thrown away with their "free-stuff" and for something consisting of TWO records and in fairly good shape, it must have had a hard time selling.

This was actually released on the "Famous Twin-Set" label, which also issues double-albums by other performers like The Mills Brothers, Roy Clark, Liberace, Pat Boone and even Leonard Nimoy, whose album Outer Space, Inner Mind is shown inside the gatefold with the records by the other performers.

Four Sides featuring songs that we all have heard him do: "It's Over", "Honeycomb", "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine", "Bimbombey" and "Danny Boy", and songs I've heard little of him doing like "Crying In The Chapel", "Walk Right In", "That Lucky Old Sun", "The Streets Of Laredo", "Boll Weevil" and even "The Midnight Special", "Moon River" and "God Bless The Child"!
