Ernie Kovacs
Ernie Kovacs Album (with bonus tracks)Columbia/Omnivore, Early 60s/1976. New Copy
CD...$14.99
16.99
An audio document of the genius of the Ernie Kovacs TV show of the early 60s – served up with almost as much dynamic energy as the show itself! Given the lack of visuals, the focus here is mostly on dialogue-heavy routines – so there's less of the wordless musical numbers that are ... CD

Mort Sahl
Mort Sahl At SunsetFantasy, Late 50s. Very Good+
Amazing work from one of the hippest comedians of the postwar years – not only filled with razor-sharp wit about politics and society of the period, but delivered in a long stream, without any "bits" – a real revolution that made Sahl a huge influence on standup for years to ...

Candy Butcher/
Burlesque Uncensored – A Bare Faced Documentary (gold cover)
Cook, Late 50s. Near Mint-
A surprisingly witty record for the Cook label – a live recording of a burlesque performance, where no cameras were admitted – complete with strip tease and crowd noise too! Back cover has an annotated copy of a letter from the sherrif – further proof of the album's sense of ... LP, Vinyl record album

Albert Brooks
Comedy Minus OneABC, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold
Albert Brooks' famous takeoff on the Music Minus One series – and a cracker of a comedy record, too! In addition to the title gag – which even includes a script and mirror so you can be the co-star – the record also features Brooks' excellent "Another Kooky Krazy Kall", ... LP, Vinyl record album
Dick Gregory
Dick Gregory At Kent StateUPI, 1972. Near Mint- 2LP
Pretty heavy stuff! Dick Gregory takes up the cause of Kent State here – leaving his older roots as a comedian far behind, ans he explores the nature of the tragedy that happened there in May of 1970. The album comes with some pretty gripping photos on the front! LP, Vinyl record album

Neil Hamburger & Others
EntertainmentNumero, 2015. Near Mint-
A very cool mix of sounds and styles here – hardly the sort of record we'd normally expect from funnyman Neil Hamburger, and instead this wonderful mix of short comedy bits and well-chosen music put together by the Numero Group!

Woody Allen
Woody Allen Volume 2Colpix, 1965. Near Mint-
Early standup work by Woody – recorded in the swingin' 60s, when it was funny just to say the word "neurotic"! The album's actually pretty darn great – and has Woody talking his way through a variety of stories, in a manner that's clearly inspired by Mort Sahl, Shelly Berman, ... LP, Vinyl record album
Moms Mabley
Youngest TeenagerMercury, Late 60s. Near Mint-
Moms is up to her usual bag here – playing the sassy, sexed-up old lady in an extended comedy routine. But the album does feature one really great standout part – a version of "It's Your Thing", played with nice funky instrumentation, and featuring Moms singing the lyrics! ... LP, Vinyl record album
Dick Gregory
Dick Gregory's FrankensteinTomato, 1970. Very Good 2LP Gatefold
Dick Gregory at his most righteous – recorded live at the Bronx Community College, and speaking on topics that include The Black Panthers, the Chicago 7, Black Power, Money, Patriots, Riots, and "Checking Out Whites". Less funky than political – which actually makes it a lot ... LP, Vinyl record album

National Lampoon
Radio DinnerBlue Thumb, 1972. Near Mint- Gatefold
Great work from the classic days of the National Lampoon Radio Hour – a really wonderful show that ran on FM radio, and parodied many of the ideals and themes of the post-hippie generation! The work here is done in an underground hip mode that would show up more strongly in the mainstream on ... LP, Vinyl record album
Ray Scott
PrayerChecker, Late 60s. Sealed
Ray Scott performs an extended reading of Redd Foxx's "The Prayer" – caught in a live setting that's not credited in the notes, and getting some very subtle funky backing at the bottom! Ray's voice is way up front in the mix, and the small combo that vamps and grooves are very ... LP, Vinyl record album
