The Raybeats, "It's Only a Movie", reposted per reader request, complete with crummy looking but large scans of the cover art. This is a hard record to find. I had to lean on my brother in Wyoming for about 16 years before he would give up his copy, and I gave it to him in the first place. Here is a good link for Raybeats info.
BTW, the other great lost audio artifact my brother used to have was a cassette recording of Ernie K-Doe doing a radio show from New Orleans. All through the show he's promoting obscure R&B singers on his record label and telling listeners to call in for a free haircut and free breakfast, only it sounds more like "Fwee Bwekwuss". It was a lot like Detroit's Famous Coachman only more flamboyant. Click on the picture for a good Ernie K-Doe obit. If anybody has any audio of Ernie K-Doe radio shows, post them!!
One invaluable thing when you're playing a gig is to have a master of between tune banter. Just little things like "We had a request for this next tune" (usually a lie), or my favorite, "This next tune is based on a true story".

Hi - would you mind awfully reuploading the Raybeats record again? Thanks
I've still got my LP and have been thrilled to no end to find it digitally! One of the coolest records ever!
