Notes:

This Sealed Album came from a record store in Allentown, Pennsylvania called "Phantasmagoria" which went out of business in 1978. I purchased most of their unsold inventory several years later when I owned "Music Madness" - a new & used record store in Catasauqua, Pennsylvania.

Since this Sealed Album was part of Phantasmagoria's inventory when they closed in 1978, it cannot be any newer than a 1978 pressing. Being a Sealed Album, I cannot tell specifically what pressing it is prior to 1978. In some cases, hype stickers might help to determine if it is a first pressing, but I cannot be any more specific.

Phantasmagoria used round colored stickers to indicate the price of their inventory. They had a sign on the wall with the color sticker combinations for the customers to use so they knew the price of what they were purchasing. Some of the Sealed Albums still have these stickers on them, and in some rare cases, the stickers are written on. Some of the Sealed Albums have prices on them. This is the price you would have paid for this Sealed Album in 1978 if you had bought it at Phantasmagoria. If this Sealed Album has a price on it, please don't confuse the price with the current value for this Sealed Album.

Album Review for "Dyn-O-Mite"

Review by Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

Jimmie Walker had some modest roles in the 1980s and 1990s, and in the 2000s, the actor/comedian continued to do standup and was, on several occasions, a guest on Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher. When Maher was looking for an African-American with politically conservative leanings, Walker was among the people he turned to. But Walker has never regained the visibility he enjoyed in the mid- to late '70s, when he was famous for his portrayal of J.J. Evans on the CBS sitcom Good Times. It was in 1975 that Buddah released Dyn-O-Mite, Walker's first standup comedy album. Recorded live at the Cellar Door in Washington, D.C., this vinyl LP underscores Walker's appreciation of Richard Pryor (who was huge at the time). Unlike Pryor, Walker doesn't get into sexually explicit material or inundate listeners with profanity. But like Pryor, he has a lot of fun confronting racial stereotypes. While Walker's material falls short of brilliant, the native New Yorker (who was only 25 when this LP came out) shows himself to be a genuinely funny social commentator. As time passed, Walker evolved as a comedian; Dyn-O Mite offers an enjoyable snapshot of where he was in 1975.

Jimmie Walker biography by Larry Lapka

Best known as J.J. Evans on the popular sitcom Good Times, Jimmy Walker emerged as one of the most popular standup comics during the mid- to late '70s. He remained a very popular comedian in comedy clubs and on cable TV in later years.

SHIPPING

If you have any special shipping requirements (extra padding, oversized boxes, etc.) you must let me know BEFORE making your payment. The cost of shipping is based my standard packaging (new boxes, padded envelopes, etc.). If you make a request for special shipping requirements during or after making your payment, I will refund your purchase and relist the item(s). You can bid on them again and then I will send you a revised invoice. I will do my best to accommodate any request as long as you are willing to pay accordingly.

USA (Domestic) Shipping and pick-up

• If your invoice does not include combined shipping, please send a request for an updated invoice.
• Your item(s) will be shipped within 2 business days after I receive your cleared payment. When possible, I try to ship the same day your payment clears.
• Local pick-up is fine with me. Contact me before making your payment to setup a time and place that is convenient for the both of us. There are no postage or handling fees for pick-up.

International Shipping

• If you purchase multiple items, please wait until you've made all your purchases so I can send you an invoice with your correct postage.
• The buyer is responsible for all customs regulations and fees in their own country.
• If the total weight of your package is 4 pounds or more, the Post Office requires it must be shipped by International Priority Mail. This is their policy, not mine. If it helps, I can try to calculate First Class postage for multiple shipments, but it usually ends up cheaper sending everything in one box by Priority.
