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 ... 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

Burlesque Uncensored – A Bare Faced Documentary (gold cover)
Cook, Late 50s. Near Mint-

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
