Front cover is a loose parody of Frank Zappa And The Mothers - One Size Fits All. Inner sleeve looks like a parody of something I just can't put my finger on it. Maybe something Bowie related or some classic rock LP. Killing me....
This is Al's best LP it of original music. -
to mr yankovic or his team of people who read this.....i as i type this a fan for FORTY years ...we've met...we've chatted....i even bought polka party...but as i type this there are still SIX albums of your not readily available on vinyl...off the deep end, alapalooza, straight outta lynwood, running with scissors, bad hair day, and poodle hat (yes i'm aware of the dutch vinyl pressing of off the deep end) the time has come al...record store day twice a year...release one each day make your loyal fans even more er...loyaler...i love you but the time has come ...think of it as maybe earning you enough money that maybe your daughter could go to college without debt
i am your number one fan as youve autographed that on your first album and i won easily the weird al jeopardy here in vancouver for me so i think i have some pull at this point
a close personal friend of yours
