Firesign Double Disc TwinPack Twofers™! Dept.

 

Available scans of this awesome cover are universally shit. I blame the internet.

 

You have nothing better to do with your ears right now than squirt new, liquid Firesign Ear Canal Cleanser™ into them! And what swifter, cleaner way of delivery than clicking the cunningly hidden StealthLink© embedded in this post!

 

Terrible, horrible cover by Phil Yamamoto and his girlfriend. It was Phil's only design commission, and I wonder why.

 

These swell dual discs, the Firesign's only original twin vinyls, offer:

🖕MicroHybrid© cleansing technology!

🖕Refreshful MintyMenthol™ aftertaste!

🖕Sparkling RIAA Redline® performance!

 

Add to the fun!

Is that even possible, you ask, your voice choking with emotion, that we could have even more Firesign fun? These two swell extry deliverables, StealthLinked© together somewhere in this paragraph (I forget, so don't ask), answer your question with a resounding YES!

De-tuned as in the crappy songs have been deleted. You won't notice.


 

Phil "Rock God" Austin's feeble, boring, and irrelevant musical interludes SAVAGELY edited out, resulting in a smooth, Liqui-Glyde™ listening experience. You should thank me. Also for the new cover, which spares us Austin's nipple.


... and here's Snorky's faahhhbulous cover for four hours of live radio (see comments):

 

Bravo, Snorkers! Graphic perfection!


Snorkers knocks it out the park and into the frying pan with his cover for "Rarities"! Link in comments.


 

You'll treasure these legacy recordings just like all the other shit you download but never get around to playing!

  1. I don't think that there's much question that we're all Bozos on this bus. However, I was a cock-teaser for Roosterama, and I don't know that many others can claim that status.

  2. Any Firesign-contiguous or adjacent requests - make 'em here! If I don't gots, maybe ("just maybe") a 4/5g© has!
    ("Forward Into The Past" contains both sides of their otherwise unavailable single!)

  3. When I was about 12 or 13, a friend's older brother had "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers" and while I never heard it then or since, I have never forgotten the title...

    1. I have four hours of "Stoned Live Radio" which might be it, so I re-titled it and used your cover:

      Snorky, do a similarly great cover for "Firesign Rarities" and I'll upload that.

    1. My favourite sound effect of all time is on that album - a dropped tin can that goes doingy-doingy ...

  16. For more information about the Firesign Theatre's earliest appearances on records.. such as the mono single version of "My World Fell Down" by Sagittarius, as famously featured on the epochal and influential 1972 release "NUGGETS", but also the sound collage on the Byrds "Draft Morning"...see the link below.

    Also...there's apparently a book: Firesign: The Electromagnetic History of Everything as Told on Nine Comedy Albums

    1. "The extry deliverables are accessed thru a commonly comatose tadpole!" ie the comma in "I forget, so don't ask".
