Vinyl Friday: Marcel Marceau
Alas, I don’t actually own this album, but it is at the top of the list: The Best of Marcel Marceao. Apparently both sides of the album have 19 minutes of silence, followed by a minute of applause.
Genius!
I’m not sure why Marcel Marceau’s name is spelled incorrectly on the album cover - does anyone know?

It was misspelled to avoid a lawsuit (ah, it was so much easier to avodi a lawsuit in those days). The album was apparently an entertainment industry gag, and not actually affiliated with Marceau in any way:

That’s awesome! Whoever thought up the idea of a Marcel Marceau album is a genius. It is like the “Everything I Know About Women (or Men)” book that is just a book of blank pages.
