Unfortunately - this is a knock off record. On Design Records, a unit of Pickwick - which is synonimous for knockoff. But the cover is cool. Speaking of guitars - can anyone ID the guitars shown here? I don't know much about Eddy Arnold - but apparently he was an icon in country and western music and had much to do with creating the Nashville Sound. I think she is snuggling a Gretsch. Actually - I can make out looking closely at the record jackets that all of these are Gretsch guitars. But who or what are Guitars Unlimited? According to answers.com - an LA based recording studio project on Capitol spearheaded by studio pros Bob Bain, Jack Marshall, and Howard Roberts. These top-dollar, first call studio guitar pickers were simply thriving by the early '60s, an era when the public's taste for guitar really did seem unlimited. Hit television shows such as Bonanza featured arrangements heavy on guitar. Ah ha - Guitars Unlimited also cut a less well-known series of knock-off tributes to various country artists for the budget Design/Pickwick conglomerate.
