ITEM:
Here is a very RARE item featuring not only DECCA records but ESQUIRE Petty Pinups. This box set was a promotional item only given to radio Disc Jockeys back in the year 1956.
The set comes in its original box and features a Key Hole on the cover with a peek at a Petty Pinup girl. On the lid it says DECCA PRESENTS MUSIC FOR THE BOY FRIEND, MUSIC FOR THE GIRL FRIEND, FEATURING THE PETTY GIRL AS PRESENTED BY ESQUIRE MAGAZINE. On the side of the box it says FOR DISC JOCKEYS ONLY
Inside you will find the following items:

- 4 pages with Verses from some of the songs that would be found on the albums.
- 3 sheets of DECCA Records Advertising material featuring the different Esquire Petty Pinup girls. Largest ad measures 11 3/4" x 19".

- Plastic Spiral Bound album of the Eight different PETTY Pinup ALBUM COVERS that are featured on the 8 different LP's that you could purchase. The 8 different LP titles (first 4 are in the Music For The Girl Friend Series and last 4 in the Music For The Boy Friend Series) are as follows: Did Someone Say "A Party?" / She Dotes On Dreamy Music / She Adores The Latin Type / She Loves The Movies / He Likes To Go Dancing / He Really Digs Jazz / He Digs Rock 'N Roll / The Feminine Touch.
Here is what the content of the letter says:
Dear Deejay: We are happy to present -- for your programming pleasure -- another unique Decca Deejay Kit especially for you, containing a collection of selections from a brand new series of Decca albums.
This exciting new series, which we believe offers the finest of recordings in all moods, was inspired by the popularity of Esquire magazine and of the world famous Petty Girl who has adorned the pages of Esquire for so many years.
There are eight new albums in the series -- four of which are devoted to Music For The Girl Friend, and four to Music For The Boy Friend. The cover of each album is illustrated by an original and appropriate drawing of the Petty Girl. As you can see from the lithos that are also enclosed, these illustrations make the sets a pleasure visually as well as for listening.
To enable you to present the series to your audience we have chose selections from each of the new albums and incorporated the into the enclosed LP record. To further facilitate your programming we have enclosed suggested script material that we are sure you will find useful. The timing of each selection, as well as the publishers ASCAP or BMI affiliation is listed on the script.
For additional programming material, may we suggest that you look over the clever verses that are contained on the album lines. They, we believe, will provide entertaining and amusing listening when used in conjunction with Decca's Esquire series. Just so you can have these poems handy, we have reprinted the on the attached sheets.
We hope that you, as well as all of the Girl Friends and Boy Friends in your audience, get a great deal of pleasure from the varied music in this series.
Sincerely, Marty Salkin, Martin P. Salkin

The entire set has a very light odor, not a musty smell, just a stored away smell. There is no tearing to any of the ADS or the Album Cover Lithos. The LP record looks like it was never played. The album sleeve has some seam splitting and a few tiny tears. Scripts and other sheets of paper have no tearing but do have some light yellowing. The box has some surface dirt and surface wear. Also some tearing and some missing cardboard on one of the sides.
The only thing missing in this set is the NOVEMBER COPY OF ESQUIRE!
Overall in Excellent condition.
