That's the cover I eas looking at this morning.

Oh boy, is this a trip down memory lane. I was introduced to the Tom
Lehrer by my local record shop owner ("the ol' drug dealer..".). It
was the 10" LP. As I remember, the cover was mostly red, with a
scratchy pen and ink drawing of someone I took to be Tom Lehrer,
adorned with devil's horns and a tail, at a rather surrealistic
piano. Unfortunately, my copy disappeared a long time ago, so could
someone verify or correct this memory?
However, the thing that initially sold me was that the record shop
kept these records under the counter, rather than on the shelves
with the "regular" LPs. Remember, this was the early 50s and
"naughty" records (at least in the part of world I grew up in) were
under-the-counter commodities. For a teenager like me, that was the
highest form of approval.
