The Washington Hillbillies: This is the first of two versions of the TV spot for this May 1977 Casablanca Records comedy album by JEFF ALTMAN, BILLY MINKIN and NELLIE BELLFLOWER aka The Washington Hillbillies. Recorded at The Comedy Store West this LP was inspired by President Carter quoting Bob Dylan in his inauguration address. If anyone has a broadcast master of any of the Casablanca Records promo films/TV Spots, please let us know as we are trying to reacquire several "lost" Casablanca Records film and videotape elements. See our Web site for more details.

AND PARTY EVERY DAY is the very first full-length book about the infamous 1970s record label and its enigmatic founder Neil Bogart. In a blizzard of wild parties, spending, and fearless ambition, Casablanca Records launched the careers of KISS, Donna Summer, Parliament Funkadelic, Angel, the Village People, and single-handedly created the disco movement. Add an Academy Award-winning film division with product like The Deep, Midnight Express, Foxes, and The Hollywood Knights and you begin to understand why Casablanca became the hottest record label of the 1970s.
