Just found this oddball record by the Temple City Kazoo Orchestra called "Some Kazoos".It's pressed on marbled vinyl and it's completely weird.Contains hilarious cover versions of 2001 Sprach Kazoostra, Stayin Alive, Miss You and Whole Lotta Love.Has anybody ever seen or heard this record??

i sold a copy on ebay for a lil bit of money
didnt know folks were into it

Yeah, I remember Dr. Demento (syndicated DJ of novelty records) played tracks from this album fairly regularly in the late seventies.
The TCKO were basically the two owners of Rhino Records (Harold Bronson and Richard Foos) plus a bunch of other folks with kazoos. Bronson & Foos also put on dark suits with shades and fedora hats and cut an EP as the Kazoos Brothers (parody of the Blues Brothers, get it?).
Before they hit it big in the reissue market, Rhino released a whole shitload of novelty records like this.
Anyone got that Complete Little Richard on Polydor or that Fun House Sessions box?
You mean, on Reprise?
Don't have the box itself, although Richard's three Reprise albums aren't very hard to find (did the Rhino reish have bonus tracks?). The Rill Thing is a pretty good one; I've never heard King Of Rock & Roll; I sold The Second Coming long ago, that album sucks like a vacuum cleaner.
Doof. Yeah, I meant Reprise while playing a Polydor LP on the table.
There were, to my knowledge, bonus tracks.
