Album Notes & Community Reviews

This legitimate anthology of Goodman's break-in records collects the fake newscast novelties he built from snippets of current hits, a form he pioneered with Bill Buchanan on the 1956 record 'The Flying Saucer'. Its biggest inclusion, 'Mr. Jaws', was his 1975 hit, nearly two decades after his first hit.
