In 1955, Emory Cook made a field recording of a burlesque show at Minsky's Theater in Newark, New Jersey. He released the recording as an LP in his "Sounds of Our Times" series on his "Cook Laboratories" label. Among other things it featured an orchestra conducted by Harold Rausch and performance by Marie Voe and Patti Waggin. While the New York Times ran a condescending review of the release, it is a unique record of an important cultural phenomenon. Here is the tracklist:
A1Lobby Talker — Candy Butcher
A2Chorus Line
A3Strip Tease: Maria Vee
A4Sketch: Old Judge Montfort Rides Again
A5Chorus Line
A6Strip Tease: Patti Waggin
B1Music For Strip Tease
B2Sketch: Aunt Martha's New Maid
B3Music For Strip Tease
