This is a real vintage Jackie Gleason LP Framed as a piece of Art.

A popular comedian and actor in 1950s and 1960s, Jackie Gleason was also an accomplished musician.

Lonesome Echo, is a studio album of "mood music" by television personality Jackie Gleason. It was released in 1955 on Capitol Records (catalog no. W627). Gleason conducted an orchestra of strings that included mandolins, cellos, and domras, augmented by guitars and marimba. The solos are performed by Romeo Penque on oboe d'amore.[1][2][3]

The album featured cover art by Salvador Dali. Dali described the work as follows: "The first effect is that of anguish, of space, and of solitude. Secondly, the fragility of the wings of a butterfly, projecting long shadows of late afternoon, reverberates in the landscape like an echo. The feminine element, distant and isolated, forms a perfect triangle with the music instruments and its other echo, the shell."[3]

Lonesome Echo entered Billboard magazine's pop album chart on June 25, 1955, peaked at No. 1, and remained on the chart for 23 weeks.

You can view this as a piece of art with a cover by Salvador Dali or take it out and listen along.
