	THIS is a file of WHERE TO GET NOVELTY.
	I have tried to UPDATE it since I last posted it, but please me
if anything in it is incorrect.


	


The following is a (to) long file about where to get novelty.
Before that, let me BRIEFLY say what here I RECOMMEND you do

1) CALL RHINO records and get there catalogue.  The Dr. Demento CDs or
tapes are good if you don't already have them, the RUTLES are an excellant
Beatles satire, and anything by SPIKE JONES is good. 

2) CALL 1-800-733-STEP to get the CAPITAL STEPS order form to order
some POLITICAL novelty songs if you are into that. Some of them are
dated- but I like those anyway as a satire of HISTORY instead of 
CURRENT EVENTS.

3) If you are particular interested in WEIRD AL, PDQ BACH, TWO LIVE JEWS,
THE BOBS, THE FRANTICS, then
the addresses of those companies are listed down here. Same for
FUNNIEST COMPUTER SONGS EVER WRITTEN and UNOFFICIAL STARTREK COMEDY ALBUM

4) Da Yoopers Catologue. Call (906) 485-5595

5) CD we bee 509-922-7378- They have EVERY CD ever made.
can call CD hotline 1-800-234-6361 to find out ABOUT any CD
EVER made (almost).

	For those of you who don't have it yet, the address for Attic Records
(the label which carries the Frantics and McLean & McLean) is:

		Attic Records Ltd.
		624 King St. West
		Toronto, Ontario
		Canada, M5V 1M7

	Various: Polka Comes to Your Haus -- Restless Records (Culver City, 
Ca., 90231-3628), 1990.
For those of you who want more of a demented polka fix than Weird Al can give,
has 13 of the better FCC clean polkas in the land of dementia today. It 
includes Rotondi, Brave Combo, Mojo & Skid, and Polkacide. These are not
completely traditional polkas in the Lawrence Welk sense, but they all have 
their own unique sort of rock & roll / blues influence. For example,
"Blitzkrieg
Over Kenosha" by Mark Shurilla & the Blackholes is great for slam dancing,
while "Blue Polka" by Rotondi is more of a blues/prewar jazz style. My only
gripe with this album is that it doesn't include "Glorious" or "In Heaven There
Is No Beer".

	Various: Worse Than Slime No. 1 -- Beat Brothers Recordings, Inc. 
(4067 Hardwick St., Ste 279, Lakewood, Ca, 90712), 1989.
If you want to know what the original bits of classic, unadulterated dementia
sounded like about ten to fifteen years ago, this is the album for you. As far
as I know this is only available on CD or LP (no cassette version), and on the
CD there are 6 extra tracks including a mystery track that doesn't appear on
the cover. Artists include Barnes & Barnes, Wild Man Fischer, John Christensen,
and Barry & the Bookbinders. All of the tracks were previously unreleased 
(tracks like "2 Hot 4 You - Part II", "I Get Weird", "Buttkickers From Outer
Space" and "Touch Yourself"). This is an album that any dementite or dementoid
would enjoy.
Obviously, I can't include an order form here, but you can write to:
 
    The Friends of the Bobs Society (F.O.B.S.)
    Perrysfanalia
    P.O. Box 60039
    Colorado Springs, Colorado
    80960
 
The mini-catalog included with the stuff lists LPS and Cassettes at
$10 each and CDs at $16.  Shipping is $2.50 for any amount under $20.
Over $20 in merchandise will cost $4.00 shipping.
 
For my money, _My I'm Large_ is the best Bobs recording.  The first
one comes close and _Songs For..._ is good, but everything on
_My I'm Large_ is worthwhile.
