My brother had all of these LP’s. I do not remember how, but I discovered that some versions of the albums have more tracks than others. None of them have ever been particularly expensive, but it is confusing – as the LP’s with different tracks tend to have the exact same serial numbers!

I’ve been them live in Las Vegas. I’ve only ever seen 1 x 45. I have not yet obtained any of the Laugh.com re-issue CD’s (I just have the Rhino ‘best of’ CD). Does everybody remember Tommy Smothers as “The Yo-Yo Man”? I think there was a home video for that – in the 80’s? Their TV show was really great, lots of great musical guests…and Pat Paulsen!

Thanks, Tom & Dick!
