Everything You Know Is Wrong
Used - Vinyl - KC 33141
1974 US original Santa Maria pressing. Strong VG+ vinyl. "After a few albums of somewhat lacking material, the Firesigns pulled it together with Everything You Know Is Wrong, an album that sounds like the blueprint for The X-Files, Church of the Subgenius, and every other conspiracy theory you can think of. Funniest of all is "Army Training Film," but most of the rest of the album holds its own quite nicely. A swell return to form, and especially recommended for the paranoid."

Sealed Gatefold Original. “Featuring Better Production Than The Debut Album, Two Places At Once Is A Much Tighter Affair, With Much Happening Throughout. Side One Features A Number Of Smaller Sketches, With Social Commentary Interwoven With Smart Television And Radio Parodies. It's Side Two, However, That Makes This Album Worth Having. The Side-Long "Further Adventures Of Nick Danger" Is A Nearly Perfect Parody Of A Detective Radio Play, With Sharp Wordplay And Interesting Characters. The More Fully Developed Nature Of The Piece Makes The Album Worth Repeated Listening, Which Isn't The Case With Many Other Comedy Albums Released At About The Same Time.” –Sean Carruthers, AMG more

How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All
Used - Vinyl - PC 9884
1969 US gatefold reissue. Glossy, VG+ vinyl. Released in 1969, How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All is one of Firesign Theatre's most celebrated and inventive recordings. Blending surreal humor, satire, wordplay, and audio experimentation, the album unfolds like an absurd radio drama, packed with layered jokes and cultural commentary that reveal new details with each listen. A product of the late 1960s counterculture, the record pokes fun at advertising, consumerism, media, and American life while showcasing the group's remarkable talent for creating comedy through sound. more

I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus
Used - Vinyl - C 30737
1971 US original Santa Maria pressing. Solid VG+. "Picking up exactly where Don't Crush That Dwarf left off (with the sound of an ice cream truck), I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus isn't so much a revelation as its predecessor. This is another concept album, this time about technology, the future, and humanity's place in the equation. There are less obvious laughs this time out, and the album really needs repeated listens to begin to make any sense of it (indeed, in the Mobile Fidelity reissue, two of the members of the group contribute essays in an attempt to make it less incomprehensible). Still, there are some really fine moments that immediately click, like "Breaking of the President" and the visits from the Holygrams. Repeated listening will bring out all the album has to offer."

In The Next World, You're On Your Own
Used - Vinyl - PC 33475
1975 US original Santa Maria pressing. Ding/small tears on jacket mouth edge. Featuring superb cover art by William Stout. "As was typical with Firesign Theatre albums, In the Next World You're On Your Own features several story lines which compete for the spotlight throughout the album. This time out, there's a police drama, a game show, the overthrow of the U.S. by the native Americans, an awards ceremony, and a baseball game between the birds and the insects. Even if it's a bit hard to follow what's going on, there are still some great moments: for one, you can hear the members of the troupe hollering out old catch lines as catcalls during a section where George Tirebiter is reading out a list of nominees at the awards show -- and this follows a pretty nasty but funny Woody Allen impersonation. Even though the album is dense and well-written, much like their classic earlier material, it's still lacking a certain zip. It's not surprising, really -- the album came after a long string of solo albums from the various members, and the entirety of this one was written by the duo of Phil Austin and David Ossman; Phil Proctor and Peter Bergman were pretty much brought in at the last minute to fill out the voice-talent lineup. It's pretty safe to say that the group wasn't cohering particularly well at this point, and the record label knew it, because after the release of this one, Firesign Theatre found themselves without a recording contract for the first time since their debut. [Note: laugh.com reissued In the Next World You're on Your Own on CD in 2002.]" All Music Guide – Sean Carruthers more

The Tale Of The Giant Rat Of Sumatra
Used - Vinyl - C 32730
1974 US original pressing with original plain inner sleeve. Engineered by Peter Abbott. "After the mediocre response to the previous albums, Firesign Theatre returned to the radio play format that worked so well for them with Nick Danger. This time they take on Sherlock Holmes, here redubbed Hemlock Stones, and stretch the motif across both sides of the album. It has all the trademark wordplay of earlier Firesign Theatre, but it isn't quite as smart. Still, there are worse ways to spend 40 minutes." All Music Guide – Sean Carruthers more
