The George Tirebiter Collection

Through film, radio, and even politics, George Leroy Tirebiter's long and distinguished career has been, to say the least, long and distinguished.

Ironically, George may best known to modern audiences from his appearances in the Firesign Theatre's oddly-named Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers, and for his candidacy as Surrealist Party Vice President in 1976.

It is, perhaps, sad to note that the B-Movies, film shorts, and youth comedies have all been lost to decaying acetate of the decaying film-cans of decaying history. Classics like WHAT A FAMILY! (Argyle Artists 1948) which introduced the characters of Georgie and Mudhead to a generation. Topical pictures such as STREET OF BROKEN GLASS (1954). And what about his sci-fi classics: NOMADS FROM NEPTUNE (in 3-D) and THE BEAST FROM UNDER THE BED (both Monotone Pictures, 1953) -- all lost to modern viewers.

Fortunately, a treasure trove of audio and radio performances has been unearthed, and is offered here as The George Tirebiter Collection. These priceless audio masters have been digitally mastered and presented via the miracle of Compact Disc for your listening pleasure.
