Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 33-1/3 rpm, 10-inch mono vinyl disc, "Decca Long Play Microgroove unbreakable DL 5188," very-good-plus vinyl in a very-gpod-plus cardboard sleeve. Starring Kenny Delmar, Danny Scholl, Mary Hatcher, and Fredd Wayne. Still smarting from the GOP defeat in 1948, a magazine editor decides he needs a new personality to mold into presidential timber, and assigns five of his brightest Yale men to scout the country. They turn up the unprincipled, double-talking backwoods Texas politician Hominy Smith (Kenny Delmar, radio's Senator Klaghorn), running for re-election against ex-G.I. Easy Jones, who of course turns out to be Smith's daughter's secret love. Etc. Early enough that this album was also available in 78 rpm. Whether either author had met Lyndon Johnson is not known. Lead author John Whedon wrote for "The Great Gildersleeve" on radio, and "The Andy Griffith Show," "Leave It To Beaver," and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" for television. He was the grandfather of "Buffy" TV writer and director Joss Whedon. (Gee, wonder if that helped young Joss get his start?) Catalogs $80; here reduced from $24.
