It`s `The Spike Jones Show`…on radio! 2 sitcom pilots starring Spike and The City Slickers, to be exact, recorded in November 1945 for NBC in front of a live studio audience. The series, written by Charlie Isaacs (writer for Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Groucho Marx, Edgar Bergen), centered on Spike`s “Sugar `n` Spice and Everything Nice Malt Shop” on the campus of “Sub Normal-Normal,” their “Matter Alma.” Slickers Carl Grayson and Red Ingle played the roles of Professor Thaddeus Q. Derri-Berry and Red Bagel, the football hero, while actresses Ann Rutherford (`Hardy Boys`) played the romantic interest and Mabel Todd (`Hollywood Hotel`) played a man-chasing character who hung out at the malt shop. But it`s not all yuks...there`s some music, too, though differentiating the music from the laughs is tough with this bunch! The Slickers perform their hits `Hotcha Cornya; Chloe; Holiday for Strings`, and `Cocktails for Two`, plus the shows also feature a much larger orchestra performing exciting arrangements of `Liza (All the Clouds`ll Roll Away)` and `Crazy Rhythm`. This `Collectors` Choice Music` exclusive comes straight from The Estate of Spike Jones, with sparkling remastering by Leslie Ann Jones. Sublimely insane!
