Customer Reviews

Disappointing, Classic is not Classic
If you saw an album titled "Classic" with a name like George Carlin, Bill Cosby, Robin Williams, Monty Python, you would naturally think Classic = some of the very best bits.
In this case classic means real old, not necessarily good. Recorded live somewhere at some time (there is no information on the sleeve), it seems to be very early Connolly, as he is making the transition from folk singer to stand-up comedy. A good amount of the material not only depends on being able to understand a Glaswegian patter, but also requires some geographical knowledge of Glasgow itself. A lot of scatalogical humour, and too many folk singing comedy songs.
It is as if this recording company found an old tape of Connolly's that they had rights to, so they decided to cash in.
There is a reason the price on this is so low.

Simply Marvelous
This CD is absolutely invaluable for when I need to clear my house of guests when it get's a bit late and I want to go to my bed. This is the best six bucks value I have had in ages. The sheer greatness of this quite wonderful collection is just unbelievable value for six dollars, amazing! I just can hardly wait for something of this magnificence to come my way again. Who said Scots people weren't very funny? This CD goes that extra mile to dispel such myths. Buy it now, you won't regret it. Next time your Auntie Mary is round boring the pants off you, just reach for this trusty CD, put it on and watch her beg for mercy. Keep it up. More of the same please. Hurrah for the makers and distributors of this quite remarkable recording. Hurrah.

What really happened at the Last Supper
This collection is a must for Scottish culture fans and comedy fans alike. If you're "scottish language impaired" you'll have to listen close to get through the broad Glaswegian brogh, but you'll laugh 'til you hurt at Connolly's retelling of Christ's prophecy at the Last Supper - a dishy affair held at the Saracens Head Inn - a great wee spot for cocktails of an evening in Gallowgate - not Galilee.

This is some of COnnelly's best early work - its like coming back to your favorite George Carlin routines - still drop dead funny
