Of all the later ones, I think the best of the lot was Batman and his 
Grandmother on Red Bird.

A contemporary copy-cat to The Flying Saucer was Marty on the Planet 
Mars by Marty on Novelty 101. There is a copy of this up on oBoo for 
buy it now at -- wait for it --- $14.99! I have to laugh at the description:

quote-  Suitable for jukebox or automatic changers (Has lead-in 
grooves)  -- unquote

Okay --- whatever. Should have maybe also said "suitable for finding 
pile of other records (has label)"

Be that as it may -- I have to wonder how many jukeboxes got 
unplugged when someone picked Flying Saucer!
