Very cute!

Now some Italian variations on the MHV's theme...

British special issue dedicated to Toscanini, with (nearly...) matching record.

Spanish (Argentinian ?) Victor hole-less promotional jacket, that I'm particularly fond of as it features my all-times favourite soprano Amelita Galli-Curci.

Galli-Curci is also a favourite soprano of mine, but one of the finest covers in my collection belongs to Maria Barrientos.

Here is a very unusual HMV cover and record. Turkish perhaps?

Thanks to Shane for your inspiring comment, and nice to hear you liked my avatar :)
And thanks also to Roger and Marco for adding new record covers, it is really inspiring to see covers that I never see in my area.
I will add more covers myself soon.... :squirrel:

Here's an interesting shop's cover from Denmark - and incidentally, I've just uploaded the record to YouTube.

This is a Brazilian Victor cover made for the Rio carnival from 1940. Complete with the spray-and-sniff in the hand of the damsel. Click on the photo to see it straight

Two European dealer's covers, one Dutch and one French. Interestingly the cartoon on the Dutch cover is printed in English.
Presumably the cartoon is of English origin, but I have never seen it on an English cover.
