Description: Follow Me? Rapture? The Tide Is High? Are you kidding me? Gotta love it!!!! This is not only a Blondie fan's dream, but an Interior Designer's dream as well. The vibrant colors are sure to brighten up any room.
According to Wikipedia, "Autoamerican was released in November, 1980. Besides rock and pop tracks, the band explored a wide range of other musical genres: Here's Looking at You and Faces show jazz and blues influences. The reggae hit, The Tide Is High, was a cover of The Paragon's 1965 Jamaica ska hit, whereas Rapture combined funk, rock, jazz, and even saw them embracing the then budding genre of rap. The closing track, Follow Me, was a cover of a torch song from Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's 1960 Broadway musical Camelot, based on the King Arthur legend."

Item #00087 Original WWII Poster: James Montgomery Flagg - You Can Lick Runaway Prices
Description: The US Government needed help in controlling costs during WWII and this poster was one way to encourage citizens to do their part. It says, "You hold the 7 keys to hold down prices."
According to Wikipedia: He created his most famous work in 1917, a poster to encourage recruitment in the US Army during WWI. It showed Uncle Sam pointing at the viewer with the caption "I Want YOU for U.S. Army." It was revived for WWII. Flagg used his own face for that of Uncle Sam (adding age and the white goatee), he said later, simply to avoid the trouble of arranging for a model. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt praised his resourcefulness for using his own face as the model.
