THE FRIARS PRESENT

THE DEAN MARTIN TESTIMONIAL DINNER 

In order of appearance: Barry Mirkin, George Jessel, Jimmy Durante, Joey Bishop, Tony Martin, George Burns, Dinah Shore, Mort Sahl, Judy Garland, Sammy Cahn, Danny Thomas, Sammy Davis, Jr., Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Al Hart, Eugene Debs, Glenn Wallichs, Dean Martin.

VINYL: VG Every side plays at worse a strong VG to a very decent VG+ with the exception of side one because a scratch causes a skip which loses a couple of words during one of Jessel's stories but doesn't hurt the story's flow or punchline. 2 Lps have a bit of dishing (warpy-ness, but only on one side of the LP) it has no effect on the sound on either side 

SLEEVE: VG- I took a bit of time fixing some defects on this so it looks better than a VG-  The top center & the top of the spine had portions scuffed off. I actually had another copy of this sleeve I found with no LPs in it. I removed pieces of the paper covering on that sleeve & strongly glued them over the scuffed off portions of this  one (see pictures) I also glue repaired a couple of edge splits/

inner sleeves; a rounded poly inners
