Description
THIS IS A VIRTUALLY UNFINDABLE TESTIMONIAL DINNER FOR HAROLD MIRISCH
There is another Harold Mirisch Tribute record LP that can be found released by the Motion Picture Pioneers that is music from his films. That is not the album in this listing.
The album in this listing was, I assume, a very limited release. It is numbered no.59
PRAISE & ROASTING OF MIRISCH (including a number of song parodies) MC'D BY MILTON BERLE.
And a bit too many intros of the many Hollywood Big Wigs in the audience (a number of them were quite famous but most I hadn't heard of)

2 LPS
November 23, 1964 at the Americana Hotel in NYC
THE MOTION PICTURES PIONEER DINNER
A TRIBUTE TO HAROLD MIRISCH
VINYL: VG/VG+ borderline (it looks NM) Maroon Colored vinyl
The 1st LP (sides 1&2) VG+
Side 3: VG it plays VG+ till the middle of the Gene Kelly / Louis Jourdan sketch. Then what appears to be a factory defect causes static at a VG level & a skip which loses 2 or 3 words. You can hear my youtube upload of it below however I used a different record player to record it, the stylus was set a bit lighter & on that record player there was no skip so you aren't going to hear the skip in the youtube upload.
Side 4: Plays a borderline VG/VG+
SLEEVE: VG generic double sleeve with a sticker . A couple splits in the top center
with rounded poly inners
