All of the Weird AL CDs I have all have Way Moby/Volcano on the back and most don't have any mention to Scotti Bros. Now on Amazon, all of AL's CDs besides RWS and PH all have Scotti Bros. listed as the Record Label. Will there be any difference between the ones I own now and the ones with Scotti Bros. For example, DTBS. This DTBS has Scotti Bros. listed as the label but my DTBS has no mention of Scotti Bros. Thanks a bunch for any help!
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon .

Scotti Bros. was Al's record label until RWS came out. Scotti Bros. went out of business after Bad Hair Day was released, and Al was signed onto Way Moby/Volcano. Volcano decided to then re-release all of Al's albums under the Way Moby/Volcano label.

Hope that answers your question.

As far as the songs go, no (with one ultra-minor exception on "Polka Party!"). The inserts, however, are a whole other can of worms.

I thought that Scotti Bros. was bought by Volcano, which would mean that Volcano also bought whatever was left of the contract Al was under at that time. Al didn't really change labels, the label changed on him.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

I think you're right, OE.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

What's the difference in Polka party?
I am gone until June, as a result of the Junior Cert, a very large exam.

The first beat on the song "Toothless People" is missing.

I've got it on vinyl and if you want me to record the first few seconds (with the beat intact), I can do that. I might need someone to host it though.
I'm ranking every Beatles song on my new pop culture blog. Check it out!

Sure!

I can host......on my computer. Though it won't work when my computer is turned off.
