Members of this forum might be interested in the Barry Cryer records, there's a new scrap book published just looking through it, he was hilarious! Wrote some great comedy records https://www.facebook.com/Barrycryercomedianscrapbook

Not a comedy record, but of interest anyway. I picked up this LP from a charity shop this weekend for a quid. Turns out it features Dudley Moore on piano and is actually quite rare and sought after. Well, worth a tenner, at least.

(Edit - darned is I can get the picture from Photobucket to come up, so the above is a direct link. It's Johnny Dankworth and the London Philharmonic from 1962)

Thanks Oldrocker. What was I doing wrong? I thought I just had to paste in the image code from Photobucket.

[ image ]You need to encase them in them thar fancy image tags[ /image ] though without the spaces in the tags.

Dudley Moore recorded quite a few really good jazz albums over the years, often with his Trio. And if you ever see an original copy of the Bedazzled soundtrack then it can be worth a small fortune in decent condition.

Back in the day when Steve hung around with his hilarious afternoon posse in what became the radio accompaniment to my coach ride back from school every afternoon for five years, Steve Wright and the Gay Cavalieros - The Story So Far:

I now own two different copies of this single, testament to Stu's dedicated and increasingly desperate efforts to push it up the charts, Stu Francis - Ooh I Could Crush a Grape:

Image

Victor Borge - Phonetic Punctuation:

Lastly a freebie flexi disc from Bulmers. Bob lines up a gag as your straight man on the record and using the accompanying booklet you deliver the killer punchline. And bingo! You're a comedian. Bob Monkhouse - Do-It-Yourself Comedians Kit:

Really love the record covers. Also, memories there of Victor Borge.

Extraordinary to think that Steve Wright is pretty much where he was 30 years ago. His show can make me feel like I am still a student.

And on another point, I'm wondering if the Bob Monkhouse record is actually quite useful.

The things you find! We should practice Bob's punchlines and have a Monkhouse stand off.
