Re: Comedy records

Used to listen to Billy Connelly, Not the nine o'clock news, Monty Python, but my favourite was The Goon Show - found about 120 or so episodes in mp3 format on net.

Hancock for me..I used to love Python but now find them a bit silly.Derek & Clive has not aged well to me.

Although you still get recordings of stand-up routines and TV/radio shows there don't seem to be the amount of 'comedy' records there used to be. The classics I guess were the Monty Python ones in the 70s or the Derek and Clive albums (the sick bag cover one had definite notoriety in my school). So are there any that you still have a fondness for, and more importantly still actually play every now and again even though you know all the jokes?

I'll start it off - Neil's Heavy Concept Album in which everyone's favourite 80s hippy - Neil (off The Young Ones), AKA Nigel Planer, sings the album's only hit - Hole in My Shoe, promptly gets sucked down a plug hole, eats a hamburger and turns into Neil the Barbarian and, basically, goes through a series of bizarre adventures interspersed with a varitey of 60s psych covers and original songs. I still find it funny and the musical side of things is great (coming from Dave (not the Eurythmics one) Stewart who also had a one-hit wonder in the 80s with It's My Party).
