One of the strangest spoken word records ever recorded, and certainly one of the oddest to ever be issued by the LA rock powerhouse label Del-Fi – a set that has Sheldon Allman in coversation with actual drunks! The approach is a bit crazy, and Allman's maybe a bit of a bully – but the ... (Spoken Word, Comedy)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The Blowfly groove meets the sound of the blacksploitation generation! Blow's always pretty great on these classic recordings, but he does an even better job here – singing funky parodies of 70s action films, as well as other soul hits from the same era – in a way that's a great parody ...

(Original pressing with deep groove. Cover has a split bottom seam with spots of clear tape, name in pen, tiny peel spot, light wear.)
Excellent stuff – and one of the funkiest albums ever cut by Blow Fly! This is his second LP – and it's a funky recounting of a successful tour around the US, with Blow telling the story of the trip, as the mood and groove changes from track to track, as the story moves from city to ...

Goofy folk songs about the advertising biznezz, with a sort of postwar irony that you'd find in How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying or Skyscraper. The cuts include "Shaving Cream", "Thirty Second Message", "Brand X", and "Expense Account". This ... (Vocalists, Comedy)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A strangely compelling record by Henry Gibson – an artist who's known for his work on so many fronts, from his classic appearances in 70s Robert Altman films, his 60s work on Laugh-In, and his more recent stint in Magnolia! This set's a pretty weird little batch of comedy routines – ... (Spoken Word, Comedy)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A very interesting album from Eddie Harris – one that's more of a comedy album than a jazz record – honest! Most of the record features Eddie performing his own comedy material – pretty blue stuff with lots of bad-rapping and profanity – possibly trying to cash in on the ...

(Vinyl plays with light surface noise on the first track. Cover has a wavy lower corner & bottom.)
(Original 60s mono black label pressing with gold text in a flip-back cover. Cover has some ringwear and is yellowed from age and bent a bit at the edges.)
A hilarious parody of Mitch Miller's famous sing-a-long albums from the 50's, done by the crazy comedian Mickey Katz, with his usual Yiddish schmaltz. The record features Mickey leading the sing-a-long with "Der Ganser Gang", on parodies like "I Love You Much Too Much", "My ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono pressing. Cover has light wear, staining and aging, and a tracklist sticker on back.)
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
(Mono pressing with deep groove. Cover has aging, light ring & some edge wear.)
A great takeoff on the late 50s idea of "music for . . . " – the idea that a record could be recorded for some sort of specific need or audience! The backings are by Henry Mancini, but the overall conception is clearly the work of Irving Taylor – who comes up with some great ... (Now Sound, Comedy)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono Vitaphonic pressing with deep groove. Cover has a few small seam splits.)
Mrs Miller was a strange denizen of the bottom level of the music industry food chain – and her stock-in-trade was performing 60s pop tunes with a shrill fuddy-duddy style that was instantly recognizable, and forever annoyingly great! This record is less of a "best of" than just a ... (Vocalists, Comedy)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The shrill goofy vocalist lays down a second album of groovy camp tunes that'll make your dog cover his ears! There's a few lame tracks on here, but there's also some great ones, like her versions of "Girl From Ipanema" and "Monday, Monday". Mod arrangements by Fred Bock and ...

Rudy Ray Moore cut some mighty raunchy records in his time – but this one may well the be the raunchiest, and maybe the funkiest too! The album's an instruction of "the proper way to make love to a lady" – but done in true Rudy Ray style, with very down-to-earth language that ... (Soul, Comedy)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing! Vinyl has a very short crackle at the start, but sounds great overall – and cover is great.)
A huge amount of unreleased work from Jerry Samuels – better known as Napoleon XIV, after his famous novelty single of the mid 60s – clearly stepping out here as an even more experimental artist overall! The mix of modes here is wonderful – some weird little sonic plays, some ... (Rock, Comedy)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really incredible record – and one that takes all the dark energy of the famous novelty title track, to really plunge into the depths of madness and imagination! There's a sound here that's really hard to explain in words – not goofy novelty, but this penetration of anxiety, fear, ... (Rock, Comedy)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the most obscure Leonard Nimoy albums – but one of the grooviest too! The album appears to bring together tracks from some of Nimoy's 60s albums on Dot, but it also seems to include tracks that we'd never heard before – some incredibly groovy numbers that rank with his best work ...

(Small blue label stereo Bill Grauer Productions pressing with microphone logo and deep groove. Cover has splitting on the seams and some surface wear.)
A very "current events" oriented set – one that sums up a variety of bigger news stories of the time, spinning them all out with a hip, underground take on the events. Richard and Willie (mostly Willie) dominate, but Richard Pryor gets in a bit too – and the language on the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Faye Richmonde's a singer who really has a way with a naughty tune – the kind of material that you might expect from her see-through nightie on the cover!

Weird and wild stuff from the great Tiny Tim – with songs that include "Come To The Ball", "Community", "She's Just Laughing At Me", "Christopher Brady's Old Lady", "Neighborhood Children", and "I'm Glad I'm A Boy". (Rock, Comedy)LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some edge wear, light ring wear, cutout hole.)
Raunchy party comedy, of the sort that was made famous by Rudy Ray Moore, Blowfly, and others. Steve raps his way through a live set, with backing by a nice little jazz combo, which vamps behind him during most of the monologue. LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing. Cover has some light wear on the top seam, tiny splits.)
Flip Wilson caught live at Mr Kelly's in Chicago – really grabbing the attention of the crowd with a range of routines – some straight jokes, mixed with some of the characters that would increasingly dominate Wilson's performance – all with the sort of crossover appeal that maybe ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
