Report from Hoople: P. D. Q. Bach on the Air was released on Vanguard Records in 1967. It is set up as a radio broadcast of the music of P. D. Q. Bach with Professor Peter Schickele as the DJ.
In addition to P. D. Q. Bach music, the record includes New Horizons in Music Appreciation, a piece in which Schickele and Robert Dennis do a play-by-play on a performance of the first movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony as if it were a football game.
On the back cover, Schickele thanks "members of his graduate seminar in Accidental Originality" including future famous composer Philip Glass.
