Generally described as Andy Warhol's second cover illustration from 1949. The illustration of the battle between Teuton soldiers and the Russian army under Alexander, Prince of Novgorod, near the River Neva may have been influenced by scenes from Eisenstein's 1938 film "Alexander Nevsky", which Warhol may have seen.
There are at least four colour variations of this cover; pink, pale blue, green (illustrated here) and orange.

We are selling the contents of a used record store that closed its doors in 1982. The records were stored well, but some were stacked and show minor scuffing that does not appear to affect the sound. We have 78's, singles, EPs and LPs from 1920's-1980, including rock, pop, country, jazz, and classical music, and a small number of original cast recordings and soundtracks. It will take a while, but eventually our whole inventory will be listed. All our records are in very good to excellent condition, with any exceptions noted in the listing. If you are unhappy with an order for any reason, you may return the items for a full refund (you pay the postage). Please contact us if there are any problems, before posting negative feedback: We Will Make It Right! Here's to Happy E-Bay-ing!
