THE GOONS VOLUME 5 - COMEDY CD - ORIGINAL RECORDINGS

THE GOONS\n\nVOLUME 5\n\nCOMEDY\n\nORIGINAL RECORDINGS\n\nFactory Sealed CD\n\n \n\n ON\nBOTH SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC THE 1950s SAW A SEISMIC CHANGE IN THE COMEDY WORLD;\nTHE GOONS (UK) AND LENNY BRUCE (USA) RE-WROTE THE COMEDY RULEBOOK. IT IS\nNOT AN EXAGGERATION TO SUGGEST THAT THESE ACTS WERE AS PIVOTAL AS ELVIS PRESLEY\nAND LITTLE RICHARD WERE TO THE BIRTH OF ROCK MUSIC IN THE SAME DECADE.\n\nTHE\nGOONS; SPIKE MILLIGAN, PETER SELLERS AND HARRY SECOMBE, INTRODUCED THE WORLD TO\nSURREAL COMEDY AND THEIR JUXTAPOSITION OF PARODY AND SATIRE WITH ABSTRACT\nNARRATIVES PROVIDED ENDLESS MOMENTS OF COMEDY GENIUS.\n\nTHE\nGOONS \u2013 SANS MUSIC. THE ORIGINAL EPISODES OF THE GOONS FEATURED 2 MUSICAL\nINTERLUDES; ONE BY RAY ELLINGTON AND THE OTHER BY MAX GELDRAY. EXCELLENT\nTHOUGH THESE WERE, WE HAVE DECIDED TO FOCUS ON THE COMEDIC CONTENT AND HAVE\nEDITED OUT THE MUSIC FROM THESE EPISODES. EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO\nEDIT AS SEEMLESSLY AS POSSIBLE.\n\n \n\nTT
