Woody's very first LP – and a pretty great album of standup material, cut back when he was just a budding writer for TV. The set was recorded at Mr Kelly's in Chicago, and has an easy going flow – with Woody just talking his way through material, almost in a Lenny Bruce sort of way. LP, Vinyl record album
It's the end of the 70s, but Blowfly's still going strong on this album! The record features his "Blowfly's Rapp" – billed as "the dirtiest rap ever heard", and certainly true in those pre-gangsta days! The rest of the tracks are a mix of boogie grooves, late 70s club ...

One of the better James Bond parody records of the 60s – with music by Morty Jay! LP, Vinyl record album

Another hilarious Cheech & Chong record, and another cool die-cut sleeve, and guess what, it's a drug themed one too!

After the Ovation label shut down Black Jazz, this was the kind of stuff they resorted to putting out. Chicago DJ Steve Dahl (the man behind the "Disco Demolition" in the late 70's) hit big on the charts in 1979 with this parody of Rod Stewart's "Do You Think I'm Sexy". (Funky 45's, Comedy)7-inch, Vinyl record

(White label promo. Cover has some ring and edge wear and a promo sticker.)
An excellent album that features loads of material from Benny Hills' early days – when he was tighter and fresher, and before he worked too many years for ITV!

(80s pressing in a barcode cover, which has a partial top seam split.)
A key history lesson for those who thought that pot culture in music only started with Cypress Hill – a weird sound play album originally issued by Elektra Records in the early 70s! The album's the brainchild of producer/director Ron Jacobs – who put the whole thing together with a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(Butterfly label pressing. Cover has light wear and two small peel spots from sticker removal.)
Wild work from Lord Buckley – a really unusual figure on the west coast scene in the late 50s – kind of a beat comic, but one with a vibe that was all his own – and this way with language and odd spirit that was years ahead of the flower children! Not that Buck was any sort of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(60s US pressing – Liberty/World Pacific. Cover has some light wear, but this is a very nice copy overall.)
One of the strongest recordings ever made of the mad mad Lord Buckley! The album was issued in the late 60s for Frank Zappa's Straight label – but it features material recorded more than a decade before – at a time when Buckley was still alive, and one of the most bad-rapping comedian's ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Classic stuff – Rudy's first album, and a fitting launch to his famous career of party records and live club performances! The cover's got Rudy in front of a nude black model, laying back on the couch, and encouraging him to do the thing that's implied by the title – but the record ...

Rudy Ray Moore's second album, and almost hipper than the first – thanks to some key musical backings from The Fillmore St Soul Rebellion!

What a strange idea for a record – a comedian who talks and plays the drums!

Richard Pryor —
LA Jail ... LP Tiger Lily, 1976. Very Good+ ...
Just Sold Out!
It's 1978 so that means Richard's heavy into the basing backstage, right? We can't tell for sure, but he cuts loose with the reckless abandon that we love about his late 70s records.
