Following the last installment about Japanese music, this one is about Western music. Since there are many items this time, I will limit my explanations to the main ones. However, it's a shame that I can't confirm the contents of the LPs because my record player is broken. I really wanted to write while listening to them...

Photo 1: "IN THE NEXT WORLD, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN"
The content is unknown, and I don't think it was music. The jacket design is by William Stout, who greatly influenced dinosaur sculptors in Japan in the 80s (see Secret Museum Vol. 62). Since it's even featured in "THE DINOSAUR SCRAPBOOK" by the world's strongest dinosaur collector, Don Glut, it might be a treasure. (1975)

Photo 2: "DINOSAURS"
An album by a rock band with that name. It's uncouth to point out that sauropods couldn't climb rocks; it's art. (1988)

Photo 3: "MUSEUM PIECES"
An album by Canadian jazz flutist Moe Koffman, with a museum theme. It's a shame I can't listen to songs like "Evolution Blues" and "Dinosaurus"! (1977)

Photo 4: "POP WORKSHOP /SONG OF THE PTERODACTYL"
A work by a Swedish jazz band. The participation of Tony Williams, a renowned drummer who was active in Miles Davis's band, makes it jazz-wise valuable. The fire-breathing is just art... (1974)

Photo 5: "WALK THE DINOSAUR"
An album by the funky rock band, WAS. You can watch the music video for this song on YouTube. (1988)

Photo 6: "Others"
These are albums of rock and dance music. Looking at them like this, T-Rex is overwhelmingly popular, isn't it?

Photo 7
Photo 7 is an EP record by the British fusion band "Shakatak," called "Night Birds," even though they are not birds. (1982)

Photo 8: "DINOSAUR SWAMPS"
An album by the American progressive rock band "The Flock." The mural from the American Museum of Natural History is used as is, but like the original LP, if you open the jacket vertically, you can see human figures, presumably band members, drawn at the bottom. (1970)

Photo 9: "ONE SIZE FITS ALL"
A 1975 work by the eccentric rock genius Frank Zappa. The back cover of the booklet is a star chart, and among the strangely depicted constellations, there's a Tyrannosaurus constellation... I stumbled upon this by chance, and such great discoveries always make me chuckle to myself.

Photo 10: "T.REX OUT-TAKES"
A collection of unreleased recordings by the famous British rock band "T. Rex." There don't seem to be any official albums with Tyrannosaurus depicted. "T. Rex" originally went by the name Tyrannosaurus Rex when they formed, but shortened their band name to T. Rex in 1970. It's possible that the abbreviation T. Rex was used by the band before it was used in the paleontological world. (1988)

Photo 11: "TRICERATOPS"
There's a J-Pop group with the same name, but this is a pun-based jazz band (both are "Three-horned") playing on the three horns of a Triceratops and a three-horn section. (1997)

Photo 12: "DDDINOSAURS!"
A bizarre work that arbitrarily titles the works of modern classical music masters like Stravinsky and Prokofiev with dinosaur names. Is the intention to trick children into listening to classical music? (1993)

Photo 13: "Others."
Here, sauropods are putting up a good fight.

Finally, let me introduce some rare sheet music. This appears to be the theme song (?) for "The World A Million Years Ago" pavilion, built for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. More details about "The World A Million Years Ago" can be found on this website. It's the website of the aforementioned Don "Strongest" Glut.

This also seems to be a photo of the interior of the museum.

A poster image I found online.

Photo 16
I introduced it once in Secret Museum Vol. 55, a steel Brontosaurus souvenir from the Chicago World's Fair.

If you're curious about what kind of song it is, please listen to this. I performed it live. It's arranged in jazz style, so it's different from the sheet music, but you can understand the melody.
