As far as I can tell, this compilation was never on vinyl and dates to 1994 when the CD was released. The liner notes go with the joke and don't indicate when the various parts were originally released. In fact, the Statler Brothers are never mentioned, only being included by name in the songwriting credits. The first section, which you posted, was originally on their 1972 album <i>Country Music Then and Now</i> along with other, non-comedy songs, such as their hit "Class of '57." The other two skits were from the comedy album <i>Alive at the Johnny Mack Brown Hight School</i>. Both of these LPs seem to be readily available relatively cheaply online at places such as musicstack.com. I'm not sure if the Ralph Emery interviews were ever released on record.

Allthough, as your brother I do have a request. I am requesting that you post the hit track, "Super Socks," from the Letter People's sophmore album, "Let Me Spell it out for You." As many will recall this is before Mr. S went into his deep depression, began eating anything he could find, had a barbeque in his bedroom, and rarely got out of bed....... Ah the memories of childhood. -TAG This album does bring back tons of memories. Allthough, as your brother I do have a request.
