B&G On Trial didn't do much..went to #80 for one week on the Billboard Hot 100. 
I wouldn't have programmed it for one simple reason..it's not funny. As for 
that price guide, he's out of his mind. The original "Flying Saucer" is very 
easy to find and Joseph Murrells lists it as a million seller, accurately or not.
