IS IT JUST ME OR DOES MITCH MILLER LOOK LIKE THE DEVIL? YEAH, IF YOU'RE A DINOSAUR GEEZER YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT, HE HAD THAT SING ALONG WITH MITCH TV SHOW. WELL NOT ONLY WAS HE SCARY LOOKING, BUT HE WAS AN A&R MAN FOR MERCURY AND COLUMBIA RECORDS. THAT'S RIGHT, HE WAS A RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVE AND HE HATED ROCK 'N' ROLL. IN 1958 HE SAID "ROCK 'N' ROLL IS MUSICAL BABY FOOD. IT IS THE WORSHIP OF MEDIOCRITY, BROUGHT ABOUT BY A PASSION OF CONFORMITY". HUH? THEY SAY HE WAS BORN IN 1911 AND CROAKED IN 2010, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT. BECAUSE, NOW CHECK THIS OUT: A FEW YEARS AGO THEY FOUND SOME OLD PAPYRUS SCROLLS IN SOME CAVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WHEN THEY DECIPHERED THEM, TO THEIR AMAZEMENT THEY DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THEM SAID THAT THE DEVIL WOULD RETURN TO EARTH AS A RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVE. HEY, THEY WERE WEARING SANDALS AROUND BACK THEN AND RECORDS DIDN'T EVEN EXIST. SO HOW DID THEY KNOW THAT? WELL THE GOVERNMENTS BEEN KEEPING IT QUIET, THEY DON'T WANNA CREATE A WORLD WIDE PANIC. BESIDES, I HEAR THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO CHECK OUT IF MITCH REALLY DID CROAK, OR IF HE'S STILL LURKING AROUND SOMEWHERE. SO YEZ BETTER BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHO YEZ ARE SINGING ALONG WITH THESE DAYS. OK LARRY?

SIDE ONE CONTAINS: INTRODUCTION - SEARCHIN' FOR MY BABY - JUST CAN'T WORK NO LONGER - OLD MAN RIVER - MONOLOGUE INTRODUCTION - DON'T LOOK BACK. 

SIDE TWO CONTAINS: DRIP DROP - THE WHOLE WORLD IS A STAGE - UP ON THE ROOF - THE BOUNCE - SINCE I FELL FOR YOU - TOO LATE - IT'S ALL RIGHT.

HEAVY CARDBOARD GATEFOLD ALBUM COVER WITH A LITTLE RING WEAR ON THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS. A LITTLE EDGE WEAR. INSIDE LOOKS NICE. NO SEAM SPLITS. NO TAPE. NO WRITING. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS, WHY DO YEZ THINK I STUCK EM' UP THERE?

I ALWAYS PLAY EVERY NOTE ON EVERY RECORD I EVER LIST ON MY DENON DP-1200 TURNTABLE WITH A DENON MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE HOOKED UP TO A HEAD AMP. THIS KIND OF CARTRIDGE TRACKS BOTH SIDES OF THE GROOVE, AND IN SOME IMAGINARY SITUATIONS ALLOWS THE LISTENER TO HEAR WHAT THE GROUPIES GWINE BEEN DOING IN THE SOUND BOOTH. WELL I DIDN'T HEAR ANY GROUPIES, UNLESS THEY WERE IN THE AUDIENCE, AS WHAT'S EVEN MORE AMAZING IS THAT THE SONGS WERE RECORDED LIVE, AND BOTH SIDES SOUND GREAT, PLAY PERFECT. VISUALLY ABSOLUTELY NO SCRATCHES, AND IF IT WEREN'T FOR A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS ON THE LABELS, I MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT THAT THE RECORD WAS UNPLAYED, BECAUSE I DON'T SEE ANY SCUFFS EITHER, AND SPEAKING ABOUT PAPER SCUFFS, THE BIZARRE RECORD PAPER INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED WITH NO SEAM SPLITS. BUT THE RECORD COMES IN HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF INNER SLEEVE ANYWAY, EXACTLY THE KIND THAT ARE OFTEN BEEN USED BY SERIOUS RECORD COLLECTOR, NOT JUST CASUAL HOARDERS,  AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
