Dang... I guess I'll just have to track that LP down.

On a related note, I've always wondered why, if Scotti Bros./Volcano wanted to save money on the CD inserts, why don't they just print the cover and the inside stuff on one piece of paper instead of a "book-like" fold slip...

Cause then you gotta pay a guy to flip the paper over so it can be printed on the other side. And if you've ever tried to deal with the Paper Flippers Union you would know that it's not worth it.

When I saw that ebay charity auction posted on this forum, I went to check it out. I got autographed UHF, Surgeon, and Jeopardy singles. I believe there are still a few left: http://shop.ebay.com/bulge9/m.html?_nkw ... m=&_ipg=25" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

On a recent trip to San Francisco, I found a Compleat Al poster at Amoeba on Haight for only $10!

I'd take a picture of it but I don't have a camera.

My husband bought me an original cassette tape of Al's first album at a yard sale for a dollar. No case, but it plays beautifully.

Now if only my car had a cassette player. Or a CD player.

That makes you less of a true Weird Al fan.

I managed to acquire a large chunk of Al's guitar last night that he smashed at the end of 'You Don't Love Me Anymore', and he signed it to me! :)

Although not exactly rare, I finally got a copy of "Even Worse" on vinyl.
