Product Description

Product Description

This title features thirteen episodes of the groundbreaking show starring Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers. Immensely popular and hugely influential, legendary series "The Goon Show" changed the face of British comedy. Now, for the first time, this box set collection presents the episodes in chronological order of original broadcast date. This volume includes: "The Whistling Spy Enigma", "The Lost Gold Mine" (of Charlotte), "The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler" (of Bexhill-on-Sea), "The Phantom Head Shaver" (of Brighton), "The Affair of the Lone Banana", "The Canal", "Lurgi Strikes Britain!" (aka Lurgi Strikes Again), "The Mystery of the Marie Celeste" (solved), "The Last Tram" (from Clapham), "The Booted Gorilla" (found?), "The Spanish Suitcase", "Dishonoured or The Fall of Neddie Seagoon and Forog".Also featured are some rare archive bonus items including out-takes and the programme "Me and My Shadows: Peter Sellers". Two illustrated booklets tell the story of the show's development with reference to original archive paperwork, plus the history of the recordings themselves. 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". The majority of the episodes on this first volume have been previously released on cassette and CD but their sound here will be remastered using new source material and technology. A half hour archive bonus feature will also be featured (t.b.c.).

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent Goon package, 7 Feb 2009
By Katy Bagshaw (Hertford, UK) - See all my reviews
I bought this for my dad for his birthday, and he absolutely loves it. My whole family are Goon fans and I was delighted to find something like this. We have listened to it and laughed and sang all the way through until our sides were sore. A great product for any Goon fan, or in fact any comedy fan! If you like Tony Hancock, Dad's Army, Milligan or Sellers independently, Monty Python... anything like that, you'll like this. It's charming, silly and witty.

5.0 out of 5 stars a worthy compendium, 22 Sep 2008
most of these shows were previously released on beeb disks. some may have had an additional tweak or two, but nothing obvious. "dishonoured" is new to me as is "forog". the latter suffers from very poor quality sources, which is unfortunate. the latter is a great recording of a very funny performance. it was re-recorded as "dishonoured - again" & released by emi but this performance is arguably better - the recording is definitely better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goon Show is Fantastic!, 9 Feb 2009
By Grey Bird (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
I used to listen to the Goon Show on NPR (in the USA) years ago, and missed it when it was no longer broadcast. This Compendium has me laughing again, with Peter Sellers and the wonderful cast.
