In addition to specialty albums, many of JULIE's Liberty albums were released with the exact same cover as
was used for the original release. [This is true as well for JULIE albums made in France and England.] These
Japanese albums were made from third or fourth generation Liberty master tapes; as a result, the quality of
the recording generally was not to the same standard as the original Liberty release. However, several
factors set these albums apart. For special collections, intricate album covers [often gatefolds] and
accompanying song lyric sheets and booklets were created along with elaborate paper obi strips. Several
of the singles and compact stereo issues were also presented in gatefold jackets. Presentation is often
everything, and this, along with the fact that many of these albums were pressed in red, orange, or blue
vinyl, makes them prized by collectors.

When Jack Benny asked what was the most difficult part of making
an album, JULIE replied, "Posing for the covers!"
Although this elicited a laugh from both Jack and the audience, for
JULIE it was an honest answer. A blue jeans and sweater sort of girl,
JULIE was not altogether comfortable with the fuss and hoopla that
went along with the process of making an album cover.
This was especially true for albums released in the 1950s. These
album covers carried the distinctive mark of Liberty Records founder
Si Waronker, who liked provocative covers. He wasn't the only one
who liked the covers of JULIE's albums, though . . . . . . . . disc jockeys
often commented that people who didn't even own a record player
would buy JULIE's albums, just for the covers.
While it is certainly true that JULIE was lovely to look at, it must also
be noted that, along with the treat for the eyes, the wonderful songs
she sang on on the record inside the album jacket were a musical
treat for the ears as well.
