The George Tirebiter Collection






The Lodestone Catalog and David Ossman's Otherworld Media are proud to
announce the release of the first four CDs in "The George Tirebiter
Collection" -- an ongoing series of CDs of archival recordings from the
career of "legendary" film and radio actor George Leroy Tirebiter.

George Tirebiter is best known to modern audiences for his role in the
Firesign Theatre's "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers" and for
his 1976 Surrealist Party candidacy for Vice President.

Cabby. Plus Tirebiter takes a political turn in a series of commentaries
on the 2004 election. And as a special bonus, David and Devin Ossman's

Also, Tirebiter's reading of two cat tales from the pen of Mark Twain.

Volume 3: "Hollywood Madhouse" & "Radiodaze"

"Radiodaze", featuring recreations of excerpt of his most famous radio
dramas, including "Young Tom Edison", "Max Morgan, Crime Cabby", and the
infamous last episode of "Mark Time."

Volume 4: "Another Christmas Carol" & "The Ronald Reagan Murder Case"

come out to haunt him. And "The Ronald Reagan Murder Case," performed

chapter of Tirebiter's novel.
