    Nutty! I got part of this album yeeears back on the original Napster and have been keeping an eye out for it ever since. Now I can finally understand hipsters.

    Fabulous! Thanks for posting this. Del Close is near and dear to my heart because he founded Improv Olympic, the Chicago-based improvisational theater school. On his deathbed, he requested that his skull be given to a local theater to use in "Hamlet".

    Fantastic! I have had pieces of this album for many many years, it's so great to finally hear the whole thing!
