{"product_id":"george-carlin-class-clown-lp-8102026","title":"George Carlin - Class Clown - LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge Carlin’s Class Clown captures a pivotal moment in stand-up comedy with its unflinching look at religion, language, and social norms. Recorded live at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1972, it features Carlin’s sharp reflections on his Catholic upbringing in routines like \"I Used to Be Irish Catholic,\" \"The Confessional,\" and \"Special Dispensation - Heaven, Hell, Purgatory And Limbo.\" The album is perhaps best known for the groundbreaking \"Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television,\" a routine that challenged broadcast censorship and left a lasting mark on comedy and free speech. If comedy albums had a hall of fame, this one would have a reserved seat. This 1972 pressing offers a direct connection to Carlin’s early 70s stand-up style, preserving the energy of his live performance. The vinyl is graded \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG+\u003c\/a\u003e, which means it shows some light surface marks and scuffs typical for its age but remains a reliable listen without significant noise or skips. It’s a solid choice for anyone interested in comedy history or Carlin’s formative work, and the grooves hold more than just jokes—they hold a slice of cultural conversation that’s still relevant. You might say it’s proof that some words never go quietly into the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Carlin - Class Clown\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWasted Time - Sharing A Swallow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Used To Be Irish Catholic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Confessional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial Dispensation - Heaven, Hell, Purgatory And Limbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy Mysteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuhammad Ali - America The Beautiful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Words You Can Never Say On Television\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLcYSA-DFoAraIR3fvEocviJeSqFdLPRoQ\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG+ \/ VG \/ 1972","offer_id":53978708214076,"sku":"13515545051146","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/OS5qcGVn_116efccc-ec96-4cb8-a2f3-8acd0957c2a0.jpg?v=1786387088","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/george-carlin-class-clown-lp-8102026","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
