Inside was the second LP album of a comedian's performance before an audience.
Outside came in '60. The Edge in '61. All three made Gold, but the biggest seller was Inside.

The Steve Allen Sunday night show had the right to two options after my first performance.
Though it sold very well, I hated The Edge.
