Oops! I meant "aCugenics" -- damn my handwriting!

Geez! The title of that Sandoz Pharma album implies that there are at least three volumes of that series!

Yep -- Sandoz provided lots of employment for third-rate Shakespearean actors.

That Sandoz LP is actually pushing a particular drug -- something called Serentil.

Tiger's keyboard player -- at least on this first LP -- is Matching Mole's Dave McCrae.
  12:48pm
listener james from westwood:

looks like an anti-schizophrenia drug. pulled due to heart side effects, among others. i think mac has at least one flexidisc in his collection from a drug maker that they no doubt showered on doctors of its day to get them to prescribe.

HA, "serentil" ... Love the etymology of drug tradenames.

How many records are there out there put out by pharmaceutical companies?
I only know of that creepy one that has babies crying on it and one I found for a feline distemper vaccine with Marlin Perkins on it.
Avatar 1:15pm
tonyc:

Maybe what Lear really needed was a shot of feline distemper vaccine.
  1:16pm
BSI:

I've actually got a decent collection of pharmaceutical LPs scored from thrift-shops, etc. The CIBA drug company released a ton of 'em. My favorites are re; the treatment of excema and other fun topics.
  1:16pm
BSI:

There's also a great one that I keep seeing additional copies of: all different heart murmur sounds. Called AUSCULTATION OF THE HEART or some such. Very great sample-meat in that one.
  1:18pm
Ricardo Montalban:

BSI: I've got that Auscultation album! It's great! Also, the canine heart sounds record is really good too.
  1:21pm
Ricardo Montalban:

The creepiest is that A Child's Cry, a Clue to Diagnosis: http://waxidermy.com/a-childs-cry-a-clue-to-diagnosis/
There's a copy in KBOO's library that is hilariously annotated, with many pictures of sick children in the gatefold renamed after long-gone program titles or radio hosts.
  1:23pm
BSI:

I recently scored a 10-volume box set of LPs of Dave Elman lectures on "medical hypnosis" including such treasures as "how to achieve somnambulism" and using hypnotism to cure "frigidity" ... great stuff. There's a few thrift stores around here that are great for this kind of thing.
Avatar 1:26pm

How about frigidity in cats? Is there a hypno-cure for that?

GRATEFULBLAC:

what's the name of the singer of FIBONACCIS - she sounds like Sandra Bernhard
  1:35pm
Ricardo Montalban:

Most of the really cool, great weird thrift store records were picked clean by hipsters years ago and now you have to pay 20 bucks for that "How to Buy Meat" LP in some hipster boutique store.
I have had SOME luck finding some great records in out-of-the-way thrift stores, but man, it's really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Avatar 1:36pm
tonyc:

Magie Song was the Fibonaccis vocalist.
  1:36pm
conrad:

Maggie Song was the appropriate name of the Fib's singer. Last I heard she's doing acupunture/oriental healer kinda thing, still in L.A.

And we're back to Acugeneics again...
  1:39pm
Carmichael:

This muzak scat singing stuff is fascinating and odd. I really enjoy the Hi-Lo's when it comes to that style.

I like Clay Pigeon's edit of "Close to You."

Is this Jerry Weaver record one of those vanity records like he'd probably sell at his Holiday Inn lounge gig?
Does it have a seascape photo on the cover?

No seascape photo -- but yes, it is a vanity press. Has a nice drawing of him on the cover.

Happily tuned in just in time to be born again, although I'm sorry I missed the Sandoz/Lear record (will have to listen on archive).
  1:59pm
Carmichael:

Crosby, Stills and Jesus.
Avatar 2:00pm
tonyc:

Charlie: I'll give you the short version: If only Sandoz had been around in Shakespeare's time, the Mad King could have been cured with Serentil -- if he didn't die of drug-induced heart damage first, that is.
  2:02pm
Van in DC:

I just love the WFMU archives. :)

I've been working away, listening in. Just noticed the Scott Fraser last set. Anyone know if any relation to Elizabeth? (Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil)
