totally non-essential (Dick Shreve, Monty Budwig, Colin Bailey, 1964), but who knew? not me.

Goodman himself, as per usual, sounds like he's having fun just playing, nothing spectacular, just BG off in his own little happyworld. And Dick Shreve sounds like he's having him some fun of his own. I'd readily pick this up as, like, a $4.99 used LP.

OMG! Dick Shreve was Durwood Douche! THE Durwood Douche!!!! GENIUS!!!!
