Spirit of '78 LP - Industrial Musical - Surg-o-Pak - The Bathrooms Are Coming
What sort of song contains the lines:"I really enjoyed my appendectomy,"
"And I loved my hysterectomy".
A novelty song? Alas, no. "I Never Enjoyed My Operation More" is a number from a show called The Spirit of '78 that was commissioned by a company called Converters Inc. It put on this bizarre musical not for the public but for the Converters Incorporated presentation to the American Hospital Supply Division National Sales Meeting, at The Abbey, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, on September 6, 1967.
The show was performed once, but was recorded. Unfortunately!
The reference to 78 was apparently a sales quota system for Surg-O-Pak paper hospital supplies and gowns. Industrial Musical LP from 1967, issued by Paper Converters.
Includes the song "I Never Enjoyed My Operation More," featured in the documentary 'Bathrooms Over Broadway.'
"Recordings from the Convertors Incorporated presentation for the American Hospital Supply Division National Sales Meeting, The Abbey, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, September 6, 1967."
Songs promote the sales and use of disposable Surg-O-Pak paper hospital supplies and gowns. Truly bizarre and hilarious.
Cast includes: Carol Steffen, Renee Kalen, Alice Dodd, Lee Pelty and Mike Arquette (father to Patricia Arquette and Mike Arquette).
Tracks:"Everything's Gone Paper""I Never Enjoyed My Operation More""Spirit of 78""It's Easy To Sell""Thank You"
Side B is a spoken-word recording, "Asepsis in the OR."
The condition of the record is excellent VG++, no scratches, no scuffs.
The laminated cover is in VG++ condition, no seam or spine splits. No writing or holes. There is a small tear at the top of the back cover slick.
Includes U/A label inner sleeve.
