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

“Listen and Laugh No. 2”  Featuring “El Vee”   A Night at the Beverly Hills Club with Larry Vincent  Pearl Records (Kentucky)  I think Larry Vincent also owned Pearl Records.  Most of his material was released on 78’s.  Mine is signed on the back.   (“El Vee” = Larrry Vincent!)
