    Off Topic: Imagine Henry Gibson having a cameo in Patrick McGoohan’s classic, The Prisoner, as Number Two.

    Hey, wait a minute. If this was a 1965 record, and “Laugh-In” began in 1968 (with that “by Henry Gibson” persona of the album cover), was it unreleased until he became popular?

    I can answer David D’s question. Rowan & Martin also put out an album on the Epic label in 1965. One routine on it, “The Birds And The Bees” is considered by many people to be up there with “Who’s On First” and “The Argument Clinic” as one of the all time classics. It’s what essentially landed them the Laugh-In gig three years later.

    Henry Gibson (i.e. James Bateman) had been doing his goofy poetry reading schtick for years both in nightclubs and on various TV programs before finally putting out an album, and subsequently getting a call from George Schlatter.

    Hope Henry doesn’t… inhale!

    Just in time for the photo shoot…Henry is released from a tree vagina with feather tickler in hand!

    I have this album. The back cover reads “copyright 1968” for most of the pieces.
