30 Ways to Die of Electrocution
"Here are 30 illustrations from the book Elektroschutz in 132 Bildern. These diagrams outline causes of electrical accidents." From bre pettis' Flickr. (Blog). And, no, it's no joke. It's from a 1931 illustrated German or Austrian book on electric safety.

Album Covers: Lille Gerhard





The top two (EP) covers, made by Ulf Gustafsson, were found at LP Cover Lover and the bottom one at Farbror Sid.

"Lille Gerhard", who also called himself "Little Gerhard" when he sang in English, was one of the first Swedish "rock" singers in the 50s. Listen to Lille Gerhard at Sid's!
