HEAR HOW LP Records


In 1959, a series of LP budget record albums, (cheaply produced), were released by Carlton records as the HEAR HOW series. Approximately 25 in all were released offering "lessons" on how to improve your skills in various hobbies, sports, languages and occupations, offered by "experts" in their chosen fields.
By the early sixties, in an attempt to boost lagging sales, the albums in the series focus more on "controversial" topics, including sexual harmony in marriage and explaining the facts of life to the        kids.The series soon ended.

    Love these! Decades before the BLANK FOR DUMMIES books. Would love to hear some of that SEXUAL HARMONY advice...

    I'd like to hear HOW TO TELL YOUR CHILDREN THE FACTS OF LIFE. I doubt my Dad ever heard it. How could they fill up a whole LP with "Ask your mother"?
