5.0 out of 5 stars The best of English wit, 22 Dec 2000

By	G. Dooley (Adelaide, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I grew up with this record, through the 1960s. It is witty without being vulgar, charming without being coy, very intelligent without ever being pedantic or condescending, and all in all lots of fun. The songs are delightful and singable. It's adult humour, but a child can enjoy it. I revelled in it at the age of six, and can still listen to it and get more out of the jokes, nearly 40 years later! Some of the humour is topical, but the gentle satire has a universality to it that seems to have lasted. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars flanders and swann at the drop of a hat, 6 Jul 2005

By	Mrs A C Goddard (Chelmsford, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Memories of childhood come flooding back. A chorus of yums running round the table...come and get it roast leg of insurance salesman. Mud mud glorious mud. A big six wheeler scarlet painted london transport diesel engine 97 horsepower omnibus. The list goes on. A true pleasure and delight in a very old fashioned gentler humour.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2 chaps and a piano..., 18 Feb 2009

By	G. Wilson (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

2 chaps and a piano...with some chat and some songs = genius. As always Flanders and Swann delight. It was interesting to hear the full version of the stage show rather than just the songs themselves. The version we had when I was young only had the songs. The spoken interludes put the songs into context and you realise just how talented they were.
