Speed the Parting Guest/The Hot-Tempered Clavichord

Our Price: $15.50

Jimmy Carroll arranged and conducted this assortment of high-impact percussion ensembles. Nine percussionists congregated to play orchestra bells, pitched drums, cowbells, vibraphone, brake drum, snare drum, gong, chimes, tympani, xylophone, siren, slapstick, hand bells, harp, other assorted toys and even the more unusual "buzzimba" (a marimba-like keyboard with wooden resonators that buzz, causing a melodic buzzing noise much like a kazoo). With ample gong hits, the pieces alternate between being melodic and being battery-dominated. This is your chance to hear a rag on the xylophone or blues on the "camp clavichord."
Artist: Jimmy Carroll Percussion Ensemble
Released: 1953
Record Company: Cook Records

A Double Barrel Blast

Our Price: $15.50

This entirely unscripted, unrehearsed dialogue is a hilarious lesson in how to bury your next of kin, and how to make arrangements with a funeral director over the phone. Next, hear a talking computer that seems to have a mind of its own. Looking for a party invite? Cook Records guarantees that you'll find your ticket with this recording.
Artist: Various Artists
Released: 1962
