Notes

Recorded live at the Temple City Moose Hall.
Engineered at the Temple City Kazoo Studios, Temple City, California.

Pressed on Disco Vinyl, an exclusive product of Rhino Records Inc. Green or blue vinyl, with multicoloured streaks (different colours were pressed). Some pressings were more vividly coloured (see photo), and there were words apparently hand-etched around the label. On side one of limited edition number 44 was 'a "Top Ten" smash'; and 'kazoos Americas best entertainment value'. On side two was 'LIKE THE RECORD? then SEE THE MOVIE!!'; and 'Rhino Records! Collect them all! Trade them with your freinds!' - friends was misspelled.

      Simple amazing, the single greatest pice of kazoo media to exist. Not to mention this ground breaking album also features the definitive version of 2001 Sprach Kazoostra.

        Back when this first came out I'd pull it out at parties to show off the colour vinyl. Now all vinyl seems to come this way : )

          Way too short. They also have a track on Rhino's first WORLD'S WORST RECORDS, as "Kazooed on Classics." See also the Ep on Rhino RNEP 504 as by the Kazoos Brothers, A PLATE FULL OF KAZOOS. (I ...THINK... the Temple City Kazoo Orchestra appeared live on THE GONG SHOW (syndicated TV) in the '70s.)
