A nice shot of beauteous Barbi and the twins adorns this collection, originally relased back in 1975 but re-released last week in a fully remastered version.
Born Barbara Klein on January 28, 1950, the beautiful Barbi Benton graced the cover of Playboy Magazine several times, and did nude layouts in issues from 1970 to 1975. She also lived with publisher Hugh Hefner from 1969 to 1976. Her films include the ultimately forgettable 1972 sexploitation The Naughty Cheerleader, 1980's For The Love Of It, Hospital Massacre in 1981, and 1983's Deathstalker, while on TV she made numerous appearances over the years in such as Playboy After Dark, Marcus Welby, M.D., McCloud, Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Vega$, and Murder She Wrote, among many more.
But she's probably best remembered for her regular appearance on
Hee Haw, and her guest appearances on
The Sonny & Cher Show,
American Bandstand, and Nashville On The Road, as the result of her four Country hit singles for the Playboy label.
The first and best,
Brass Buckles, was a # 5 Country smash in March/April 1975 on Playboy 6032 b/w
Put A Little Bit On Me.
In August,
Movie Magazine / Stars In Her Eyes struggled to # 61 on Playboy 6043 b/w He Looks Just Like Daddy, while in November the # 32 success of Roll You Like A Wheel likely owed more to her pairing with Mickey Gilley on Playboy 6045 b/w
Let's Sing A Song Together.
Her final charter was the
December 1975/January 1976 # 74
The Reverend Bob on Playboy 6056 b/w Ain't That Just The Way (That Life Goes Down).
Some of the foregoing appeared in this album which came out in vinyl as Playboy PB-406 containing: A1. Brass Buckles (2:24); A2. Dixie Girl (3:33); A3. Deadeye (3:07); A4. Smile (2:24) - the Charlie Chaplin composition made famous by in 1954 by Nat "King" Cole; A5. Jeremy (2:54); B1. The Reverend Bob (3:02); B2. He Used To Sing To Me (3:06); B3. Movie Magazine, Stars In Her Eyes; (2:39); B4. He Looks Just Like His Daddy (3:10); B5. I've Got The Music In Me (3:32). It came out as a CD with a plain green cover.

Backing vocals are provided by The Lea Jane Singers.
