Description
2 Marijuana related 70's Comedy LP Lot. They are:
1. Big Bambu. Ode Records(SP 77014). 1972.
For their second full-length album in a single year, fast-rising comedy duo Cheech & Chong merely refined the amazingly successful formula of their debut, which had translated their popular stage act to vinyl with greater success than anyone could have predicted. Kick-started by the chaotic schoolroom classic "Sister Mary Elephant" skit -- an after-hours band-camp staple for decades to come -- the stoner icons introduce another soon-to-be recurring story line with mutt buddies "Ralph & Herbie." "The Continuing Adventures of Pedro de Pacas and Man" presents a gut-busting second episode for their most popular alter egos, and the legendary game show spoof "Lets Make a Dope Deal" (part of side two's "Television Medley") rounds out the album's highlights. All of these acts are so carefully conceived and packed full with so many backdrop details that they achieve a stunningly "visual" effect -- another key element to Cheech & Chong's inimitable comedic formula. Additionally, the album's original vinyl pressing contained a record-sleeve-sized bogus rolling paper as a souvenir for the kids -- a fact which might be lost on the post-CD generation.
Conditions Rated: Cover 6 or VG+ die-cut gatefold cover with huge rolling paper, light discolorization and edge wear, original inner sleeve///Record 7 or EX black and shiny with a few sleeve rubs.
2. A Child's Garden of Grass. A Prelegaliztion Comedy. Elektra Records(EKS 75012). 1971.
Can a '70s comedy album that is themed about marijuana possibly still be funny? In this case, yes. The audio companion to the book A Child's Garden of Grass, by Jack S. Margolis, has plenty of funny moments, thanks to excellent production and just plain good material. Author Margolis, collaborator Jere Alan Brian, and producer Ron Jacobs created a comedy album that incorporates ideas from the book with new material, sound effects, and music to make 38 minutes go by very quickly. It helps that the original book had a fairly gentle, self-parodying style that stood out among the polemics of the period, and that Margolis had been a humorist long before he wrote it. The album is loosely constructed as a parody of old school instruction records, complete with pompous narration and electronic sounds to instruct a teacher to change slides, and the conceit works surprisingly well. The large cast handles the material well, and those who heard the album for the first time when it was new may be delighted to find that it really is as funny as they remembered. The audio version of A Child's Garden of Grass is a nostalgia trip for people of a certain age, and a humorous learning experience for those who were too young to remember the era.
Conditions Rated: Cover 8 or EX+ high gloss gatefold cover///Record 7 or EX- black and shiny with a few sleeve rubs, writing of former owners name on label.
