Stan and Ollie are as addictive as heroin, and I admit to being a junkie for them...I have a couple of other recordings, and there is some duplication, but I don't care! No money was ever wasted on the greatest comedy duo EVER. Oliver Norville Hardy was first a vocalist, and he had a lovely, rather high-pitched voice, which was always welcome in any one of the pictures or shorts they produced, and his musical knowledge and Stan's genius for creation also assembled other musical talent on the same sound stages, which were invariably entertaining and catchy. Who can forget 'Trail of the Lonesome Pines'? Love Stan and Ollie? Simple, no-brainer decision...buy this album.
