“The Laughing Beatnik”  Vocal by Johnny Beeman with Dave Meyers Orchestra  (c. 1960)  Silly stoned laughter, but certainly one of my favorite record labels – Doll Records (later this single was re-released on AMY Records)

Hello Matthew, Here is the cover from a very special LP.  My father bought it in the early 70’s. He used some special sounds (“filmsounds”) from this LP for the films that he made with his Super 8 camera.  I still have the record in my collection.  Hope you like it!  Regards from Oliver in Germany
