    6 copies for over $2000 but no sales in almost 2 years, might be time to drop the prices a little bit. This record typically (per popsike) sells for less than the median price. I would love to buy a copy but not at a loss.

      Herb Kazzaz on the cover, pre-Hollywoo fame. One day I might own this one, one day I might not own it. Balls hoop lop schlop call-and-response

        The back cover of this record makes an extended appearance (at around 20min 15secs ) in the 1964 film The Last Man on Earth. Now you know!

          Original copies should have deep grooved labels, '43 West 63rd' address labels, RVG and the Plastylite 'p' on both sides with no ® under the 'E' of Note.
