The cover, of course, is a parody of Vaughn Meader’s “First Family” album covers. And the album itself is Rich Little‘s update on Meader’s tour de force. Only this time, the Reagan White House is mocked. Written by 15 people and produced by Earle Doud (who produced Meader’s two Kennedy albums), it features Shelley Hack, Jenilee Harrison and Fridays regulars Melanie Chartoff and Michael Richards (seen on the cover in a tutu).
Also featured in the recording, but not listed on the front were Roger Behr and Roger Peltz (of the comedy team Roger & Roger), Judy Carter and Larry Miller.
One more factoid: The bearded gentleman to the far left is Meader himself. Meader also is featured on the recording as “Voice #2” in Act 1/Scene 6.
