Description
Up for bid is a rare private press LP, "Songs Banned in Boston," by Bill "The Fox" Foster. The front was autographed by Bill "The Fox" Foster in black marker and is clearly legible. This was released on Rainbow (Rainbow Record RP 4004 Stereo). If you watched "The Man Show" with Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla back in the day, you will know exactly who this is. He used to work the crowd and drink beer incredibly fast while standing on his head. Here's some info from wikipedia:
William Wallace Foster (January 23, 1932 – May 10, 2000), known as The Fox, was an MC on the first season of Comedy Central's The Man Show under the show's original hosts, Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel. He was billed as "The World's Fastest Beer Drinker", a feat which he performed in an appearance on the TV show Taxi as well as numerous times on The Man Show.
Foster was a performer of what he called "songs your mother wouldn't sing." Foster had an album called Songs Banned in Boston, which is out of print. Prior to his television career he owned The Fox Inn, a bar in Santa Monica, California, where he performed nightly from 1961 to 1989. The Fox also spent time playing on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas's campus between 1972-1987. He regularly chugged beers on campus while playing his piano and singing, long before alcohol consumption laws were ever enforced on campus. Foster appeared as a champion fast beer drinker and demonstrated his skill in a 1978 episode of Taxi, "The Great Line". Foster was also featured on an episode of NBC's early 80s reality TV show Real People.
Bill was crowned King of the 12th Occasional Doo Dah Parade in Pasadena, California on November 13, 1988. He presided over the Parade on November 27, 1988, along with Queen Richelle Small.
As an MC on The Man Show, Foster chugged beers and sang songs with the audience. He could chug two mugs of beer in less than two seconds, typically after performing the traditional German drinking cheer, "Zicke, Zacke, Zicke, Zacke, Hoi, Hoi, Hoi!".
After the sale of The Fox Inn, Foster continued to perform with his companion and agent Nancy Grade in and around Los Angeles. He played regular engagements at Weber's in Reseda, Mom's Cantina in Brentwood, MVP Sports Bar in Simi Valley, and American Pie in Santa Monica.
LP is VG, with scuffs and small light scratches on either side. LP plays with surface noise with no skips. Jacket is VG, with the entire spine split. There is wear on the top and bottom seams. There is wear on all corners. Jacket retains bright coloring and a nice gloss. Front of the jacket has been autographed (see pictures). I had a very nice copy of this same LP that didn't have any scratches I sold earlier this year (without an autograph). I made a reference copy on CD that I will include with this auction.
