Description
Oregon! Oregon!: A Centennial Fable in Three Acts starring Stan Freberg, starring Stan Freberg and Stubby Kaye, Blitz-Weinhard Co., LP
This is a promotional LP produced by the late great comedy legend Stan Freberg.
Commissioned by an Oregon beer company (Blitz) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Oregon's becoming a state in 1959, it is purportedly about how Oregon became a state.
But if you expect to actually learn anything about Oregon history, you are going to be disappointed. This is the Stan Freberg of "St. George and the Dragonet" and "Green Christmas," a wild hilarious musical romp with original songs starring Freberg and Stubby Kaye of "L'il Abner" and "Guys and Dolls" fame about how Oregon was saved from remaining a territory and became a state by the defeat of a crazy witch!
1) Overture 2) Scene: The Wilderness, Oregon Territory 1859, Song: A Territory's Great But You Gotta Have A State, 3) ACT II, Scene: Same, One Hundred Years Later: Songs: Oregon! Oregon!, The Time is Up, When We Are Married, 4) ACT III: Scene: Oregon Centennial Ball: Songs: What's the Name of the Witch, Finale (This is followed by a reprise of the songs from the show.)
The LP is in NM condition, looks hardly every played. Very clean! The cover also is a strong VG+, no splitting, cut marks, etc. There is a little storage wear most noticeable on the back (light ringwear towards the bottom). Being a white cover and all from that far back, that's pretty good.
Probably best copy made available here in some time. Also check my other Stan item up this week, very rare also.
Payment expected at auction's end -ebay's unpaid process does kick in after 48 hours so do follow through.
