Fabian Face Washes and a Wall Plaque Gaffe
A humorous R&B of Fabian’s gimmick season features a wall plaque mask marketed by Chancelor Records and a soap dab. The piece jokes about Fabian’s singing and the faux wall mask with a toy-doll vibe. It also reviews Ember Records comedy albums by James Comack and Bob Newhart, Rowan and Martin, and Reiner and Brooks, noting mixed taste and satire quality. The piece contrasts Newhart’s strengths with Comack’s weaker material culminating in a playful media critique.
