Old King Tut

1977 (remastered and reissued on c.d. 2001)

This collection of orientalia was produced in conjunction with the hoopla attendant to the visit of the King Tut exhibition to New Orleans. The album included the text of the lyrics long before Tipper Gore made that de rigueur. The liner notes include "The History of the Rise, Development and Decline of the Oriental Fox-Trot in America."
