THE GOONS VOLUME 8 - COMEDY CD - ORIGINAL RECORDINGS

THE GOONS\n\nVOLUME 8\n\nCOMEDY\n\nORIGINAL RECORDINGS\n\nFactory Sealed CD\n\n \n\nON BOTH SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC THE 1950s SAW A SEISMIC CHANGE IN THE COMEDY WORLD; THE GOONS (UK) AND LENNY BRUCE (USA) RE-WROTE THE COMEDY RULEBOOK. IT IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION TO SUGGEST THAT THESE ACTS WERE AS PIVOTAL AS ELVIS PRESLEY AND LITTLE RICHARD WERE TO THE BIRTH OF ROCK MUSIC IN THE SAME DECADE.\n\nTHE GOONS; SPIKE MILLIGAN, PETER SELLERS AND HARRY SECOMBE, INTRODUCED THE WORLD TO SURREAL COMEDY AND THEIR JUXTAPOSITION OF PARODY AND SATIRE WITH ABSTRACT NARRATIVES PROVIDED ENDLESS MOMENTS OF COMEDY GENIUS.\n\nTHE GOONS \u2013 SANS MUSIC. THE ORIGINAL EPISODES OF THE GOONS FEATURED 2 MUSICAL INTERLUDES; ONE BY RAY ELLINGTON AND THE OTHER BY MAX GELDRAY. EXCELLENT THOUGH THESE WERE, WE HAVE DECIDED TO FOCUS ON THE COMEDIC CONTENT AND HAVE EDITED OUT THE MUSIC FROM THESE EPISODES. EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO EDIT AS SEEMLESSLY AS POSSIBLE.\n\n \n\nTRACKLISTING\n\n1 \D
