Almost. The Flora pretzel-ized trumpet that graces the cover of this rare RCA Victor
Living Stereo "cartridge magazine" originally appeared in 1958 on the back cover of the LP
Portrait of Shorty Rogers. The illustration was recycled by RCA Victor's art department on this 1960
Esquivel package, whose format was the (failed) forerunner of the cassette.
The LP version of this classic album by the Mexican maestro had a completely
different photographic cover. RCA also marketed a consumer cartridge recorder, demonstrated
here.
