As one of the oldest recordings in the Needlejuice Records catalog, it feels right to put "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" onto a wax cylinder.

This is a novelty item. Wax cylinders don't sound good. It does indeed have the music on it, but this item is not subject to refunds or returns for sound quality, clicks, pops, hissing, or any such claims related to the functionality of this thing. Don't pretend you don't know what you're getting into when you're buying a wax cylinder.

ABOUT THE ALBUM

Previously unavailable on digital platforms, and only available physically since 1966-- Napoleon XIV's (Jerry Samuels') debut album is being reissued on Needlejuice Records. The album contains the classic hit "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" - one of the most well-known novelty hits of all time. The rest of the album is just as wild, and is one of the most experimental artistic works of the 1960s. Includes 5 extra bonus tracks, many of which showcase Jerry's pre-Napoleon early recordings.
