I'm not going to change your sheets again, Mr Hastings., 29 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Listening to Derek and Clive is like eavesdropping down the pub. Best appreciated whilst inebriated. It's mysogynistic, homophobic, contains some vicious swearing and contains a fair amount of drunken abuse.
It's also possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard.
When you start listening to Derek & Clive, usually in private given the above, inevitably someone will overhear, and then shortly afterwards ask to borrow it. This is how almost everyone starts.
If you're easily offended, sensitive, or prefer your humour to be politically correct and/or sophisticated, don't bother. Otherwise, enjoy.

The funniest album in the world... ever!!, 15 Jul 2004
This is the first (and best) of the Derek & Clive albums - and what an album it is!
Recorded in a studio Manhattan in 1973 during nights off from the American run of their 'Behind the Fridge' live show, & interspersed with live material recorded in front of a small audience of friends in a club in Greenwich Village, it actually remained unreleased for 3 years.
During this time 'bootlegs' of the sessions had mysteriously been surfacing, prompting this belated 'offical' release - which proved a deserved commercial success.
Kicking off in fine style with the hilarious (& now classic)tale of Clive's worst job ever (involving Jayne Mansfield & some,er, unwanted lobsters...), a swear-fest, songs, & even more obscure and hitherto unchartered topics of humor, it is guaranteed to have you in fits of laughter throughout.
Definitely not for the easily offended though!!
I can remember crying with laughter at the song that finishes the album (Jump) - and you still keep laughing, however many times you listen to it.
Basically it's a foul-mouthed version of the classic 60s Pete & Dud characters - & never have I heard people make swearing sound so funny!
I have to admit, when I first heard this album I was a child, and didn't even know who Peter Cook & Dudley Moore were!
This seems crazy now, as I know now that they are two of the unsurpassed comic geniuses of the 20th century - & this album is only one facet of their diverse collective creative canon.
But, if you've never heard this album before... what are you waiting for? Go buy it, play it to your friends & get ready for some very serious giggles!!

magnificentlty funny, 30 Aug 2002
if you enjoy having sore ribs from laughing, then this is the CD for you. The way in which Pete and Dudely make up conversation on cue about the most outragous things is amazing. There is not a person I have let listen to this cd that has'nt had tears in their eyes from laughing. Although done in a stupid, vulgar, and quite offensive tone, those of you who love comedy in all its forms should buy this and appreciate its brilliance of making you laugh, without control.
