Brown did a number of record jackets, mostly promoting various
products or services.
A set of presidential portraits by Reynold Brown were features on a
series of records, "Presidential Profiles". 1966 Kayson’s
International Ltd., Los Angeles, CA. Narrated by Art Baker (TV show host
for "You Asked For It") each record featured a different
portrait. They included all the presidents from George Washington to
Lyndon Johnson, 35 paintings. Because of the short time available Brown
painted the portraits at the rate of one per day until they were
completed.
