Album Notes & Community Reviews
This two disc, forty track anthology was compiled by Barry Hansen, better known as Dr. Demento, with Cub Koda, and engineer Bill Inglot made the transfers without reprocessing the original masters. It gathers Jones's anarchic City Slickers classics, from 'Der Fuehrer's Face' to 'William Tell Overture', in the fullest portrait of his musical sabotage ever assembled.
