about

Radio wunderkind George Leroy Tirebiter was a radio star while still a teenager, a Hollywood director in his twenties, and blacklisted in his thirties. The Firesign Theatre discovered him and made him the star of their third album "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers" in 1970. All this time he's stayed insanely prolific, and as he nears 100 we're proud to bring together all of his surviving radio & stage work in one 7-hour collection.

Includes episodes from his classic sitcom "Hollywood Madhouse", the kiddie show "Young Tom Edison", the noir "Max Morgan: Crime Cabby", variety show "Radio Follies", dramas "The Ronald Reagan Murder Case" and "New Mexican Overdrive" and much more. Featuring special guest appearances by Phil Proctor, Melinda Peterson, Phil Austin, and Mark A. Ward and Richard Procter ("The Fabulous Deluxe Brothers").

NZ's favorite sons raise their rubber guitars above the parapet. Secretly I think this album was inspired by Firesign Theatre's "Fighting Clowns", in the sense that this can't possibly be true. The Firesign Theatre
