Genre: Comedy
Places I remember: Marbecks Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Election Special segues into Lumberjack Song stand out (but plenty to choose from here).
Gear costume: So many wonderful routines here - Bruces, Secret Service, Four Yorkshiremen, Parrot Sketch.
Active compensatory factors: Comedy records are usually fraught with problems. Familiarity breeds contempt...usually.
And there are, of course, no visuals with a sound recording.
Monty Python inhabit a different universe, however. I can listen to these sketches over and over again, even though I know them off by heart (as my generation all have done).
Listening to this again in 2016 still made me laugh, a lot. The Election Special skit has not aged at all!!
Where do they all belong? The Goons, Robin Williams, The Marx Brothers - they all mine a surreal brand of humour that I love!
