I've downloaded it for more careful reference. I will add some items
for you here in the next few days.
One thing I caught as I was loading the buffer: There were more Here's
Rich shows than 12. I think there were somewhere between 30 and 36.
Details later.
Kids Records on Capitol: Did many that he did not receive label credit
for. "Bozo on the Farm" is an example of outstanding Freberg voices.
Radio shows: I might have missed these on your list, or maybe you don't
know about them: CBS Radio Workshop (1956) - examines satire; includes
his parody of Arthur Godfrey. Also did a DRAMATIC lead on a 1958
"Suspense" show called "Alabi Me."
I don't know if you even want to begin with video material! But
something I should mention (because it's very good): Stan performs the
song "Good Old Country Music Says the Same" on the video Gerald McBoing
Boing's Sing Along.
1957 series, episode 1: You probably know there were two endings to the
"Incident at Los Voraces:" the original hydrogen bomb (used on the "Best
of Freberg" LP) AND the earthquake ending that was actually BROADCAST to
comply with CBS censorship.
Well, as I say, there may be some more odds and ends. I'll do some
research and get back to you with details.
Thanks again for an interesting post.

>Wow! Thanks for an impressive Freberg discography!
What Freberg discography? Where can I get it? Thanks!
Gary Levine
I had a copy of Stan Freberg's USA on LP. I loaned it out before I moved
and the loanee never returned it (not that I completely blame her).
I understand the cassette release and the CD contain additional material
not included on the LP. I can't seem to find these anywhere and our
local CD places say they're not available. Can some kind soul out there
sell me a copy of either one or dub me a copy onto a cassette or CD?
I'll pay all appropriate costs, of course. I'd rather have my own copy,
complete with cover and booklet, but we must be realistic (in other
words, see what we can actually find). If anyone has a copy for sale
or for dubbing, please let me know at the address below (not the one above).
Thank you.

radio material has been rereleased? I have "The Best of the Stan Freberg
Show" (one of my favorite records as a child) and I'd love to hear a complete
show (or shows). Have any of the radio nostolgia companies put the shows out
on CD? I guess I shouldn't be asking for anything more, but I will anyway.

PS Has _anyone_ heard anything more about Vol. 2 of Stan's autobiography?

One company (I think its Radio Yesteryear) has a release containing
two complete shows. Several places that sell radio shows on tape
have the complete series.

autobiography is a running gag that refers to the never-to-be
-seen volume 2 of the "United States of America".
On another related topic, I never saw the discography. If possible,
an email "gift" would be welcome.

I'd like to find that record -- all I have is a tape of it. I also have a
complete set of aircheck tapes of the 15 radio shows. But if all you want is
a show, combine the opening of the first record ("we're ALL Stan Freberg"),
the tuned sheep, and Incident at Los Voroces. That was the entire first show.
Although, as I and others have noted, the Incident at Los Voroces on "The
Best..." is different from the one actually broadcast on CBS:
Record CBS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
o (omitted) Lover's spat between Elizabeth Taylor
and Mike Todd
o Additional dialog between (omitted)
Sam Mohammed and Gruna (sp?) Baby
o "Gaza Strip" number "International Incident" number
o Ultimate attraction was Ultimate attraction was an earthquake
a hydrogen bomb
(The above was from memory. I hope I didn't miss anything.)
