In 1955, Emory Cook made a field recording of a burlesque show at Minsky's Theater in Newark, New Jersey. He released the recording as an LP in his "Sounds of Our Times" series on his "Cook Laboratories" label. Among other things it featured an orchestra conducted by Harold Rausch and performance by Marie Voe and Patti Waggin. While the New York Times ran a condescending review of the release, it is a unique record of an important cultural phenomenon. Here is the tracklist:
