A 33 1/3 rpm LP vinyl disc (a) and cardboard jacket (b) of the comedy album Flip Wilson’s Pot Luck. The black vinyl disc has multicolored labels with a prismatic design in yellow, orange, red, and purple and the Scepter Records logo, album title, artist, and credit information printed in black. The front cover of the album jacket has a blue background and features a color photograph of Flip Wilson stretched out reclining on his side with his head propped in his proper right hand and his proper left hand held aloft in a “finger gun” gesture. The cover illustration has a grey sidewalk and a black iron gate and fence, which Wilson appears to be lying atop. Text at the top reads [Recorded live / At the VILLAGE / GATE] in black and [Flip / Wilson’s / Pot / Luck] in red and pink, next to an illustration of a lit cigarette.
