> [@KneadToKnow](#): > > ## Side A > > ## Side B > > ## Side C > > ## Side D Double album? I’m surprised - I remember KTel for really packing songs on to an album (tight grooves, easy skipping). Particularly since most of those songs are short anyway. ---

Not only did I know this was “Goofy Gold”, I still own a copy on vinyl! Double album, only both albums are in a single sleeve (so don’t lose those inner liners!) ---

I have fond memories of watching endless K-Tel commercials on TV after school. The silly songs albums, truck driving songs with the CB radio fad, Polka Albums that even include the famous Beer Barrel Polka, musical gold. ---

> [@Anamorphic](#): > > Oh, I know that one! That’s “K-Tel’s Songs To Make Anamorphic Stab Himself In The Eye With An Icepick!”. Volume 2, I believe. They really limited themselves with that title.
