Full description for The "Goon Show" Compendium: v. 3

  • This title presents thirteen episodes of the legendary series, including one previously unreleased show. Immensely popular and hugely influential, the groundbreaking series "The Goon Show" changed the face of British comedy. Now, for the first time, this box set collection presents the episodes in chronological order as they were scheduled to be broadcast. This third volume includes: "The Man Who Won the War", "The Secret Escritoire", "The Lost Emperor", "Napoleon's Piano", "The Case of the Missing CD Plates", "Rommel's Treasure", "Shangri La Again!", "The International Christmas Pudding", "The Pevensey Bay Disaster", "The Sale of Manhattan", "The Terrible Revenge of Fred Fu Manchu", "The Lost Year" and "The Greenslade Story". Also featured in this title are some rare archive bonus items, including "Peter Sellers in The Listening Room" playing Spike Milligan's classic nonsense song "I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas". Two illustrated booklets tell the story of the show's development with reference to original archive paperwork, plus the history of the recordings themselves. In addition, this box set contains four limited edition postcards featuring characters from "The Goon Show" as Spike Milligan imagined them. Remastered using new material and the latest technology to give the best possible sound quality, these recordings are sure to appeal to all collectors of "The Goon Show".
