The Jack Emblow Sextet: "Housewives' Playtime" (1963)

View attachment 52685

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on this one trying to figure out that McMichael the woman is sitting on. First I found this:

• http://www.mcmichael.org.uk/products.htm
• I didn't find anything that looked correct so I emailed the website admin. A very nice man named David Cochrane replied a few hours later saying "Unfortunately I am not able to identify it, as I think it was produced in the early 1960s and I don't have any records for that period."

Then I went to the Radiomuseum website, specifically this section for McMichael equipment. I didn't find what I wanted but I punched a bunch of model numbers from the late 50's / early 60's in Google images. Nothing definitive.

If I had to guess I'd say the McMichael MS205? (The MS204 is in the same ballpark but pictures I found for the MS204 show it's clearly distinct.) I picked the MS205 because:

1. I couldn't find any definitive pictures for it.
2. It's similar to the MS204.
3. It was manufactured in 1962.
4. This album came out in 1963.

Here's Dave in a space suit jogging inside a record groove. A Stanton metal stamper duo-stylus is hanging over him.
