Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:2465414 | Genre: Comedy & Spoken Word |
| Record Size: 10" | Speed: 78RPM |
| Record Grading: Very Good Plus (VG+) |
This famous contest, which I'll get to in a minute, has been released in a number of different, including 2 78 RPM versions that I can find and a 33 RPM version. This version was a release in 3 10" 78 RPMs - I only have the first two. The six sides, and my two records include the first four, are:
A Introducing Lord Windismere World's Champion B Intriducing Paul Boomer Leading Contender C At The Post D Lord Windismere's Defiance E Crescendo F Disaster
I don't have ...E and F.
The first two records look in very reasonable playing condition, with light scratches. I'll grade them VG+.
Here is an internet discussion on this very interesting humor recording:
“Not for the faint of heart, here is the remarkable 1946 Crepitation (Fart) Contest (part of the 1946 News Broadcasts Collection).
You'll enjoy the fart-off between champion Englishman Lord Windsmear, and challenger, Australian Paul Boomer who had stowed aboard a cabbage freighter.
The hilarious comedy recording was apparently created as a spoof by two Canadian radio sportscasters in 1946, but this 15 minute recording definitely has some gems in it. Apparently they made several copies, but it was not for distribution. The recording was copied again and again on disc and reel to reel tape. It was distributed underground and played in dark rooms and back alleys around the world."
