This is a great series. Put it on the player and watch the people try to Shazam! the songs......then finally ask what the H E Double Hockey Sticks they are listening to.....

Amazing series! Can anyone verify how many volumes there are? A foreign blog recently took a stab at this series, but they stopped at 10, and Discogs shows a vol. 15, but doesn't list the earlier ones!

Scott1669 said...

I have 15 Volumes of this series. I won't say that is the definitive answer but I don't remember seeing anything more.

Edfray said...

So 15 volumes could be all there are. If you would like to share them I would be helpful.

Lil Somkey? His parents named him after cocktail sausages?

Edfray said...

Good one.

Lost in the City -

yes,.. yes,... they named him after a cocktail sausage.
His siblings were know as pig in a blanket, shrimp cocktail, and of course, the sausage ball twins. They came from a renowned family of established caterer's, and Lil' Smokey would serenade the guests with his beautiful and haunting melodies.

Thanks for this share Edfray, great site!

Where can I get copies of these volumes? Are they out of print? I can’t find them anywhere. There are other pressings with weird cover art and not in the right volume order.

Edfray said...

You can download a number of them from this blog of course. Please do. If you want physical copies they are out there used and I notice they have been re-released with different covers.
