The Americana and roots music authority

What is the absolute strangest album in your collection?

I have a 2-LP set from 1969 by renowned horror actor Vincent Price called Witchcraft and Magic: An Adventure in Demononlogy. Over the course of the two records, Price basically gives a lecture on the history and practices of witchcraft, with brief detours along the way on subjects such as Nazi Germany.

Below is a video where you can hear a brief sample of the album, but I want to know what the strangest album you own is?

This would be up there:

Also
I'm Just the Other Woman.
Hard to beat song-poems for sheer weirdness.

and it's not really an "album," but Little Howlin' Wolf on WFMU is pretty disturbing.

The original cast album from an industrial trade show musical called The Bathrooms Are Coming, presented by American-Standard. You can hear it here. There are others such musicals (Going Great for Rambler '64 with Hal Linden in the cast is terrific), but this one's the weirdest. There was a great CD sampler of these oddities called Product Music, which you can find here.

I have a CD I've had for damn near 20 years that is a recording of a hollerin' contest from Spivey Corner NC sometime in the early 70s I think. It's called Hollerin'. The best track is Dan McLamb and his 3 Legged Dog Percy doing "The Whale Swallered Johah"
