Recordings

1967
It was very unusual for a female impersonation LP
to have two discs, and a gatefold album

1969

While the above LP was advertized, Michelle has informed me that it was
never released; alas, but the writers of her music put out an LP collection, "Here's To Us,"
with selections from both of her shows, plus another called "Affair Exchange"

1970

While not a "gay" album, click for info on "Affair Exchange"

Below, an EP from the "It's Me Again" show, circa 1969. I don't have
this one, but if you know where I can get a copy, Please let me know
