Description

I don't usually offer LPs in these listings, but I thought this one was exceptional.  It's a record that loomed large in my formative adolescence, the original, ten-inch "blooper" album, KERMIT SHAEFER's "PARDON MY BLOOPER."  As he calls it, "An anthology of unintended indiscretions taken from radio and TV broadcasts."


You will hear such historic utterances as Harry Von Zell announcing, "Ladies and Gentlemen - the President of the United States - HOOBERT Heever!"  Or the harried announcer who says, "Next week, the topic of the sermon will be 'Cast Thy Broads Upon the Waters'! This is the National Breadcasting Company!" Or the breathless commercial, "Get WONDER Bread! For the Breast in Bed!"  - And like moments of gross hilarity.  


This original 1953 ten-inch Jubilee LP-2 is in nominal E- condition.  The cover is taped at the edges, the record plays exceedingly well for a half hour!

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing!  My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value.  I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all.  If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will!  Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.”  I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
