Napoleon XIV

ABOUT THE ALBUM

After the massive commercial success of 1966’s They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haa! came the unreleased second Napoleon XIV album For God’s Sake, Stop The Feces!, recorded throughout the late 60’s. This eccentric, experimental album is audio theatre for the mind - like a "movie on a record" in Jerry's own terms, and is darker than its predecessor. It being ahead of its time, Warner Brothers rejected it, leaving the album to become "lost media." Until now. Needlejuice Records' 2023 release of the album contains the full 15-track experimental album, with 14 more post-album bonus tracks, and additional liner notes by "Weird Al" Yankovic and Dr. Demento.
