The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (42)

Another page from the ACME Catalog -

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a Bugs Bunny/ Elmer Fudd Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1953 Friz Freleng directed, Robot Rabbit:



The sequence where the robot sifts the ground on a large sieve to catch Bugs is recycled animation from Rabbit Every Monday.


Towards the end of 1970, Elton John was touring the United States in support of his third LP, Tumbleweed Connection. The night before a scheduled concert at the Fillmore East in New York, Elton John did the first ever stereo radio broadcasts live at A&R Recording Studios in New York City on November 17, 1970. It was his 29th performance in the United States, and only his second in New York City. The resulting live album, cleverly entitled 11-17-70, was never meant to be released: so many fans kept trading 'bootleg' copies of the broadcast, that Elton's label, at the time, MCA Records felt the need to release a version of the broadcast. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join them in listening to a 'bootleg' version of the original radio broadcast from that evening -



Although the album sold OK, it was his worst selling album of the early 70s. It reached No. 11 on the Billboard charts, but that was nothing for an artist who had seven number one albums.
