I think my favorite is “The Happy Sound of Ragtime,” but the expression on that guy’s face has nothing to do with ragtime.

The only one of these albums I think I’d want to hear-if I could borrow it for free from the library-is “The Rappin’ Reverend.” 🙂

Do you have a turntable to listen to it on?

I believe my brother still has a turntable, but ours was tucked away when the needle broke. Our library also had albums & turntables at one time, but probably not now.

We have one. And we use it. Vinyl is making a comeback. Not surprisingly, as the quality is so much better than CDs.
But those covers are cringe worthy.

Egad! I think, down buried in the catacombs, I may actually have that Bee Gees LP. 1970, well before they went disco, and next after their experimental red-flocked two-disk album Odessa. (The cover was flocked, not the LPs.)
The rest of these covers! Yowsers!
Searched for Shep Fields and his Crippling Rhythms! (YouTube is like Wal-Mart; they’ve got everything!) They had a sound reminiscent of Spike Jones, comic, but not quite as frantic. I could imagine them as music tracks on old Fleischer animations. And right after I wrote that, I found a clip of Shep &al. in a high-quality live-plus-animation bit, “This Little Ripple Had Rhythm,” from the Paramount Picture “The Big Broadcast of 1938.”

*Had to dig to find the animators, but IMDb for BBof1938 lists them as Leon Schlesinger, Robert Clampett, Chuck Jones, Robert McKimson, and Irven Spence – wow! All tip-top animators!!

They just don’t write ’em like that anymore.
Oh, wait. RIPPLING, not Crippling.
Anyway… 😉

That’s some hairdo on that woman (on the left) in the “Singing Rickey Family.” She probably doesn’t ride a motorcycle. No way could she get a helmet over that thing. Come to think of it, she doesn’t need a helmet with that coiffure.

If you take that gravity-defying hairdo out of the equation, she appears to be roughly the same height as the man in the group. If he’s average height, then she must be close to six and a half feet tall with that hair. Imagine the things she must bump into and/or get hung up on!

Some of these are just regular, unvarnished folks, but a few are distinctly weird. And what is Shep Fields doing there? Blowing bubbles or sipping?

“what is Shep Fields doing there? Blowing bubbles or sipping?” There’s a bubbling sound at the start of some of their music. So, blowing, I would guess.
