Don Rickles is one of comedy’s most famous funnymen. For over 55 years he has appeared in top showrooms and concert halls throughout the world. He is regarded among the world’s top entertainers. Rickles earned the nicknames “The Merchant of Venom” and “Mr. Warmth” (coined affectionately by Johnny Carson) for his style of humor in which he pokes fun at people of all ethnicities and walks of life. Rickles’ style is never mean-spirited—it’s all just part of the act. In reality, most know him to be quite genial and pleasant. It has been said that being “insulted” by Rickles is like “wearing a badge of honor.” THE BEST OF THE DON RICKLES TV SPECIALS features two classic, UNCUT network television specials from the 1970s: The Many Sides of Don Rickles and Don Rickles Alive and Kicking. Rickles is at his insulting best as he’s paired with an impressive list of guest stars such as Johnny Carson, Don Adams, Harvey Korman, Anne Meara, Bob Newhart, Carroll O’Connor, Juliet Prowse and Robert Goulet. Plus, exclusive Bonus Features including new introductions from Don and the presentation of the TV Land Awards Legend Award to Don by Jimmy Kimmel. WHY BUY? This is classic television comedy, perfect for fans of Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, The Dean Martin Variety Show, and other great comedy. Don Rickles is one of the last of the great old-school comedians, and at 88, he is still going strong. These vintage specials show him at his original, insulting best!

ARTIST: Mastodon TITLE: Once More 'Round The Sun (Explicit)(2LP Transparent Green/Solid White Colored Vinyl) Label: REP/Reprise Config & Selection #: A 547830 Street Date: 10/06/15 Order Due Date: 09/04/15 OTHER EDITIONS UPC: 093624929345 Box Count: 30 A 543259 2LP 180 Gram Unit Per Set: 2 Vinyl w/Bonus CD (Explicit) SRP: $27.98 ($69.98) Alphabetize Under: M ALBUM FACTS Genre: Rock CD 543021 Explicit Description: Art is a cyclical beast. The same can easily be said of Grammy Award nominated hard rock juggernaut ($18.98) Mastodon. The group’s four members recognize the importance of life’s omnipresent cycles on their sixth full-length album, Once More ‘Round the Sun. The band orbits around themes of loss and rebirth, twirling a sonic spiral of its signature robust riffing, hypnotically haunting soundscapes, triage of dynamic voices, and thundering seismic grooves. The very title says something slightly different for each member. "Quite literally, Once More 'Round the Sun means a year-in-the-life," explains Dailor. "Lyrically, we were discussing things that happened to us recently, whereas in the past we looked further back for inspiration. It's about 365 days in this band. It was a tough and strange journey. We happened to be in the middle of completing a full rotation musically as everything else was going on." A 543021 2LP (Explicit) ($36.98) ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Atlanta, GA Band Members: Troy Sanders (Bass), Brent Hinds (Guitar), Bill Kelliher (Guitar), Brann Dailor (Drums) “Mastodon have one hell of a career to live up to. Speaking of pressure to meet fan expectations, there’s arguably no metal act assumed to deliver brilliance on a regular basis like Mastodon.” – Loudwire Mastodon is a multi-Grammy nominated hard rock juggernaut. From public endorsements of peers as diverse as Metallica, Pearl Jam, Queens of the Stone Age, CeeLo Green, and Feist to unanimous praise from the likes of Time and Rolling Stone, the band has accrued a staggering string of accolades. Their latest, Grammy-nominated album, Once More ‘Round The Sun debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard chart—displacing their 2011 album, Hunter, as their highest U.S. chart debut ever.
