Bobby Vinton Cover Girl Contest[]

In July 1966, Bobby Vinton's Epic label announced a contest in which the grand prize winner would be featured on his next album (which was this one) as well as an all-expense-paid weekend to New York and dinner date with Vinton at the Copacabana. The contest ran from August 15 to October 5; the grand prize winner was Pamela Hammer of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (coincidentally, her suburban Pittsburgh hometown of Mt. Lebanon is just 30 minutes away from Bobby Vinton's hometown of Canonsburg). Her photo and a short essay of her experience were placed at the bottom of the back cover.
