For sale is “SLIM AND SLAM”, 12” MONO LP on Tax Records (m 8028).
Album features Slim Gaillard, guitar, vibraphone and vocals and Slam Stewart, bass, vocals; Sam Allen, piano; Pompey “Guts” Dobson, drums.
Gaillard was noted for his comedic vocalese singing and word play in his own constructed language called "Vout-o-Reenee" Gaillard first rose to prominence in the late 1930s as part of Slim & Slam, Their hits included "Flat Foot Floogie (with a Floy Floy)" and "Cement Mixer (Put-Ti-Put-Ti)".
Gaillard's appeal was similar to Cab Calloway's and Louis Jordan's in that he presented a hip style with broad appeal. Unlike them, he was a master improviser whose stream of consciousness vocals ranged far from the original lyrics. He sang wild interpolations of nonsense syllables, such as "MacVoutie O-reeney".

Jacket is VG+ with no seam splits, ring wear. .
