Product Description

CD Description

Whilst the first Tony Hancock LP This Is Hancock has featured just two of his radio shows, Pieces Of Hancock took elements from four to make some of a mini best of. In so doing, it allowed some of the other cast members, most notably Kenneth Williams, to stand out from the crowd. It proved to be another big selling success, hitting the Top 20 in November 1960. Written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson Starring Tony Hancock, Sidney James, Hattie Jacques, Bill Kerr and Kenneth Williams

Dubbed from disc! 18 May 2011
Format:Audio CD
Beware - especially if you already have this Hancock gem on vinyl. This CD has been dubbed from a disc. Unfortunately the disc used wasn't in the best of condition and there are also a couple of audible 'clunks'. I could have loaned them my copy! Until a CD/MP3 is made available from the original master (presumably owned either by Universal [ex Pye] or the BBC), I suggest you make a copy of your own LP if you have one.

Yes, shame that it has been badly dubbed from vinyl, after waiting for 50 years!! All episodes long since out on CD, anyway, but THIS one was well liked because of Hancock's specially recorded introductions to each extract.
What with EMI preventing BBC issuing its own complete, Goon Shows, (coz it was allowed grammophone rights in perpetuity, yet not even issuing all of even their hacked-up versions) I despair of these big companies who don't even seem to KNOW what they're issuing or sitting on.....!!

A MAN OF THE FIFTIES 22 May 2011
By perseka
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Hancock was at his height when this record was first produced - but it doesn't lose any of the original pleasure that one first received from the recording. He was and still remains my favourite comedian - there was nothing vicious about him as with some of the modern comedians, but his success was to bring his downfall - he thought he could go it alone and lost Simpson and Galton to Steptoe and Son. In a way his suicide was not surprising - but his memory lives on through recordings such as these, but Sunday afternoon was his best!
