The World's Most Dangerous Party
The World's Most Dangerous Party is Paul Shaffer's second album, released as a double CD in July 1993. Assembled as if Shaffer and his band were playing live at a house party, the album features the contributions of many celebrities and recording artists like David Letterman, Tony Bennett, George Clinton, Joan Jett, Phil Spector, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz, Richard Belzer and Joe Walsh. As the 'live' music plays, these celebrities are generally heard talking amongst themselves and with Paul, as though amidst happy chattering at a crowded party.[1] All songs on the album are covers and most are instrumental, similar to the versions played by Shaffer and his band on David Letterman's late night talk shows. It was produced, engineered, and mixed by Todd Rundgren, with assistant engineering by Mike Thompson at The Hit Factory recording studio. Shaffer's band was billed as "The Party Boys of Rock 'n' Roll", as NBC held a trademark on the moniker "World's Most Dangerous Band". CBS, where the band would land later that year along with Letterman, also held the trademark on the next name the band would use, the "CBS Orchestra".[1] Track listingDisc 1
