Description
Up for auction - The Rare "Weird Al" Yankovic Placebo EP. This was released in January 1981, and only 1,000 are known to have been pressed. This copy was autographed by Al in person during the first ALCON convention. When I purchased, it had a hairline tear in the center - across his glasses on the front of the sleeve. (see the pics for a close-up.) The Sleeve has a piece of clear scotch tape on the inside (the white flip side) of the picture sleeve, to keep the rip for becoming larger. The vinyl is is fair to good condition. It has one small scuff during "Happy Birthday", and three lite surface scuffs on the other side of the record. The pictures of the scuffs are above so you know the condition before placing a bid. These records are reasonable obscure, and rarely turn up for sale, so grab it before someone else does. (I currently have two copies, and since I really don't really need two copies, i'm selling off my extra.)
The recordings of Happy Birthday, Gotta Boogie & Mr. Frump In The Iron Lung are early 4 track recordings, and Not the same recordings that were released on his first LP released two years later.
About the recordings: Another One Rides The Bus is the same recording found on his 1st LP, recorded and broadcast Live on the Dr. Demento Show on KMET-FM Sept. 14, 1980.
Happy Birthday has been released on CD from a mono tape on Al's Box Set, and it was remixed by Bermuda in stereo in 2005 on "Music Is A Powerful Weapon - Volume 2" on CD.
Gotta Boogie was issued on a Dr. Demento Basement Tapes CD, They were only made available thru the Demento Society with a yearly membership, However that CD was a vinyl transfer, and did not come from a tape source.
Mr. Frump In The Iron Lung - This recording of Mr Frump has Never been officially reissued on record or CD (yet). The rarest demo on this record.
I'm starting the bidding at $99 with I'm asking $4.00 shipping in the USA thru USPS media mail. If you prefer UPS (I do), Shipping cost a little bit more. I can send it for $7.99 via UPS Ground. I currently do NOT ship outside of the Continental United States. (Sorry, but I've had issues with customs in he past.) I do Not accept returns because records can be recorded, but you want to keep this rare record, don't you? Oh course you do!
