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[1] (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.
