On this Record Store Day, you can get one of George Carlin’s most heralded works, Jammin’ in New York, on vinyl for the very first time. If you’re a collector, especially of the recent uptick in vinyl comedy albums, you’re probably going to want to have this in your collection.
It’s a RSD release, so, of course, go to and support your local record store by picking up a copy.

There won’t be much waiting around for Brooks Wheelan’s debut comedy album as he only recorded it just over a month ago and it’s set to come out at the end of Jan.
According to this tweet, “this is cool, right?” will come out Jan. 27th and also be available on vinyl.
Do you think Brooks is going to have “stuff” covered in this first album?
One of the albums we’ve been most excited to come out for this year is Andrés du Bouchet’s 20-Sided Guy from AST Records, a collection of various performances of du Bouchet’s wonderfully bizarre characters.
We’re happy to tell you that it’s now on pre-order on vinyl (that comes with a digital download) ahead of its Nov. 25th release.
If you were to pre-order a comedy album right now, this is the one we’d have you pre-order. We hope that was clear from everything else we said above.
Following up with their releases from Reggie Watts and Rory Scovel, Third Man Records is continuing their delve into comedy with another great release. Bill Burr is coming out with a vinyl record of a 2011 performance at Carnegie Hall that he’s calling Live at Andrew’s House.
Live at Andrew’s House will be available on Sept. 30th and you should definitely pick up a copy and a record player if you don’t already have one.

Matt Ingebretson made this informative video on why you should only buy vinyl and, if you do, why that feeling of superiority only works when you’re in your house looking at your vinyl collection.
Eddie Pepitone’s “A Great Stillness” Coming Out on Vinyl
One of the best comedy albums to be released in 2011 was Eddie Pepitone’s sophomore album A Great Stillness. It really did capture how great it is to see Eddie live and how his performances are one-of-a-kind, brilliant, brash, and, most importantly hysterical.
Stand Up! Records remastered the album and is releasing this great, important piece of comedy on vinyl next week on Feb. 25th. You can pre-over at the link above.
