Hey BK!

I too now share the thrill of finding the Arthur Lyman Christmas Album! I've owned it on cd for a while now, but yesterday, I found this demo copy while garage-saling with Doctor Z:

Actually, Doctor Z found it and handed it to me. It's got a demo label on the front cover and is marked "demo" on the label as well. Cost me a buck. The Christmas Monster Mash lp was another nice addition to my Christmas record collection.

Best find of all didn't surface until I got home and began to go through a box of about a hundred Mercenary-fiction paperbacks that I bought for $10 to sell on E-bay, (Mack Bolan "Executioner" series, mostly, for those of you who know about this stuff). Hidden in the box was this gem of a paperback:

What a great piece of tiki pop-culture - Mercenaries in Hawaiian Shirts blasting away behind giant, bullet-ridden tikis. I'm definitely keeping this one for the coffee-table.
