Lambretta & Vespa on vinyl


Vinyl records are the best! I just found these in a record shop in Stockholm. I was looking for the Kim Carnes record as I knew it existed, famous for the cover with a Vespa, not for the music. A bit strange to an European though, is it an American VBB? The tail light is unfamiliar to me.
The Nils Tibor record called "Hammond Hit Parade Vol. 6" was a surprise to me, never heard of it. Lovely girl in futuristic shades on a Lambretta 125 Starstream! The record is in excellent shape, guess that it never have been played. That tells something, or...
And, "Vol. 6", does that mean that there is five more records with beautiful girls on classic scooters to be collected?

  1. Yesterday I saw this Kim record on local Vinyl fair, remembered your post about records with Vespa on them, and immediately bought it. I will listen it later :)

  2. The Kim Carnes scooter appears to be a Vespa Super. It is a U.S. market scoot, you can see the special tail light needed to pass U.S. law. Most of the ones with that round tail light were 1971 models.
