Politically incorrect cover #12,356. “Yakety Saki Man in Orbit’ by the (not-so-) honorable Bill Fraser! On the Maestro Label. Super rare and absolutely crazy. Must be early sixties.

I don’t remember where I picked this record up, but it’s signed by the man himself. It’s scribbled: “To Princess Marge the beauty. May you swing with love. Love Lord Buckley.”
“Way Out Humor” on World Pacific Records. Royal Concert Performance Ivar Theater Hollywood (1959)
Lord Buckley died in 1960. I recommend you dig him a bit deeper! There are some cool clips of LB on youtube including his appearance on “You Bet Your Life” with Groucho from 1956. Remarkable.

In the 1950s Woody Allen began a career in show business as a comedy writer for tv shows like Your Show of Shows and The Garry Moore Show. By the 60s, he’d graduated to performing his material in stand-up venues across America. For a handful of these years (before embarking on a career of movie making) several of his live performances were captured on disc. This the second of Woody’s three records of stand-up material was recorded at The Shadows in Washington, D.C., April 1965.
