"Just Folks: A Firesign Chat" Re-released on CD



The Lodestone Catalog today announced the re-release of Firesign
Theatre's comedy classic "Just Folks: A Firesign Chat".


It's January, 1977.  James Earl (Jimmy) Carter has been elected, and he
will soon be sworn in as the 39th President of the United States. The
Firesign Theatre (fresh off their own Surrealist Party Campoon) takes on
the task of welcoming the new President and introducing him to the
residents of his new home, Ducktown, USA, which is inhabited by the
usual unusual Firesign characters, from drunkards to truckers, and from
TV hosts to rocket scientists.


Join Peggy Blisswhips, Peter Protector, Mutt N Smut, Werner Von Hardhat,
Little Guy -- Bill Collector, and Ben Bland (and his all day matinee),
plus, the occasional Indian, who is passed around for good measure.

This CD is being released in cooperation between Firesign Theatre
Records and The Lodestone Catalog.


The CD is available only through The Lodestone Catalog at:

"Fighting Clowns" Re-released on CD

The Lodestone Catalog today announced the re-release of Firesign
Theatre's comedy classic "Fighting Clowns"


Its Firesign - The Musical!  This 1980 album features musical numbers -
in styles from German Cabaret to Punk Rock.  Its pre-Reagan cold-war
paranoia.  The Soviets (remember them?) are in Afghanistan.  Reagan
(remember him?) is still a long shot, six months before the primaries.
America (remember it?) is in the hot tub.  And nobody knows yet how hot
the water is going to become.


Featuring Presidents and hostages, Afghanistan and Billville, plus
bozos, zips, and beaners, this album is a departure from the usual
Firesign fare, but a fun one - a recruiting show for the bus not going
to war, and a battle of wits carried out by four fighting clowns with a
whole lotta ammo, and eight inflatable shoes.


This CD is being released in cooperation between Firesign
Theatre Records and The Lodestone Catalog.  The CD is
currently available only through The Lodestone Catalog at
http://lodestonecatalog.com/cgi-bin/ltmcat.cgi?sku=MSUG106


Other recent releases on Firesign Theatre Records include
"Anythynge You Want To", and "Radio Now Live".
