Opie & Anthony's Demented World is a compilation album by American radio personalities Gregg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia, released in October 1997 on Restaurant Records. It features live and pre-recorded segments from their radio show Opie and Anthony when it aired in afternoons on WAAF-FM in Boston, Massachusetts from 1995 to 1998.[2]

Release

The album was released on Restaurant Records, an independent label based in New Jersey.[3] By December 1997, the album had sold over 20,000 copies regionally and saw a national release.[3] It went to No. 21 on Soundscan's CD sales chart for the Boston area.[3] It went to No. 47 on Billboard's Heatseeker Album Chart.[4] To promote the radio show and album, a three-track promotional edition was distributed to 850 radio stations nationwide.[3]

A portion of sales from the album was donated to the Veterans Benefits Clearing House in Boston to help minority homeless veterans and the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans.[5][6] By December 1997, over $17,000 had been raised.[7]

Hughes and Cumia had started work on a follow-up album tentatively named Cringe, but it was never released.[3] They later said that they received no money from Demented World.[8]
