R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders
Original 1st Press US LP released in 1974 on Blue Goose Records. Cat: BG2014.
Comics and 78 rpm records were the twin poles around which the Cheap Suit Serenaders coalesced. Robert Crumb was (and is) one of the most famous underground cartoonists of all time, having nearly invented the genre. Robert Armstrong was also active in the San Francisco Bay area underground comics scene, producing such comics as Mickey Rat and The Couch Potatoes. Finding that Crumb also liked music from the '20s and '30s, Armstrong pulled in old friend Al Dodge and the troika began playing for fun. While on a combined busking/78-hunting trip across the United States, the group made the third comics connection. In Milwaukee, cartoonist/publisher Denis Kitchen offered the group a chance to make a record. They made the shrewd marketing move of cutting a 78 rpm record under the name R. Crumb and his Keep on Trucking Orchestra. Amazingly, this record must have hit its mark because they were offered the chance to make an LP for Blue Goose/Yazoo Records. In the meantime, they earned their distinctive name by hurriedly buying suits at the Salvation Army in order to meet the minimum dress code required of the band at a posh wedding.
