The Goon Show Compendium Volume One: Series 5, Part 1 by Spike Milligan
Remastered using new material and the latest technology to give the best possible sound quality, these recordings are sure to appeal to all collectors of The Goon Show.
Some of the funniest episodes of the entire run of the show are included; there are hours of entertainment in this set.. the episodes have had further restoration done on them; they sound the best they have ever done, and feature more material. In addition there are episodes which haven't been commercially released so far. Together with the bonus material - Goon Show out-takes! - and extensive production and episode details this is a very good package... Andrew Pixley, Ted Kendall and BBC Audiobooks deserve a lot of praise for this release. -- Ceri Laing * http://www.zetaminor.com *
Spike Milligan was perhaps best known as one of the Goons. He went on to become one of Britain's foremost comic writers and performers. His bestselling titles include Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall, Puckoon and Where have all the Bullets Gone? He died in 2002. Born in Oldham in 1923, Eric Sykes was first introduced to showbusiness whilst in the RAF and went on to write for hit BBC radio shows and appear in TV variety shows whilst writing for comedy greats such as Peter Sellers and Frankie Howerd. Although he is over eighty, Sykes continues to work, having recently starred in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
