Re: [ARSCLIST] blooper samples?
I was working in a record store when those LPs turned up; we did real good
business with them. (Princeton is a college town, after all!) The one I
remember best is the announcer who got caught on the Bond Bread slogan: it
came out "Bond Bread for the Breast in Bed."

The Kermit Schaefer is the record I had. He put out a couple or more. The
Herbert Hoover thing, considered the most famous, was Harry Von Zell, a
network announcer.
