Music For Testing False Teeth

Homemade compilation made of titles featured on the cover of a fictitious album published in Mad Magazine (November 1958). 

Let's look at the Record Dept. It all started with Jackie Gleason's LP "Music For Lovers.Only."  Now it looks like the latest trend in record albums... mainly these collections of songs for special people or special occasions or special purposes... is going a little too far.

Keeping You Alive

Rose Mary White And Grable Garrett

Keeping You Alive



Rose Mary White

Sugar Boy

One-off Detroit release from 1963. Both songs written by Othea George (also credited as the arranger), Gabriel Garrett & C. Washington.

George, Garrett & Washington were all members of The Four Tracks, of Tony & The Technics  and later of The Four Voices.

Rose Mary White is unknown to me, but Grable Garrett is probably Gabriel Garrett.

Don't Be Hasty

I'm only able to confirm what said Mr. Fab six years ago on his blog "Music For Maniacs" : There is almost no info on Tony Fabbri on the 'net, but all you need to know is that this is seriously some primo outsider awesomeness

Anthony Fabbri (Tony Fabbri, Tony Fabry) was born in 1925.  Out of Hollywood, Tony Fabbri operated, starting from 1961,  Fabbri Records, A Flat & F Sharp Records and Fanum Fortune Records.

In 1977, Tony performed "The. Phone Booth," on the Gong Show, a song he called "an unusual disco original song".  The Gong Show was an amateur talent contest created and originally produced by Chuck Barris, known for its absurdist humor and style, with the actual competition secondary to the often outlandish acts presented.


Too bad, the album Love & Inspirational Songs International posted by Mr. Fab is no longer available.
