  transport of definite humour

Not very often do you find quality items like this. The 'tracks' are all very funny and takes one back a good few years. But, I suppose, it is all according to if you like that sort of humour.

All in all a bargain at the price and if you like 'old time' humour, then this is one to listen to.

This Flanders & Swann CD was bought as an extra birthday gift for my father in law, who loves the duo. He was very pleased with the CD, saying it was perfect idea, something he would never have though of receiving. The whole family was at his birthday and the younger members of 10 to 16 years, laughed at the lyrics. Nice to pass on some old fashioned comedy to be enjoyed by younger people as well as reviving memories for older people and of course it was an easy search on eBay, no footwork involved!

The Male voice choir to which I belong is performing the "Hippopotamus Song" and I needed to be able to hear the original
The C.D was in perfect order and was as good as new and has now been played numerous times.
I must thank Ebay because without the service they provide this C.D would have been difficult to find and very much more expensive

  Wit & shameless Englishness

The Best of Flanders & Swann CD (1994) is for those who love the carefree smug tradition of flaunting englishness typified by the great compositions of W.S.Gilbert & Noel Coward. The songs, fast, witty & cheery, bring back theatrical gusts of the snugs,cigars, bangers & good wine of the fifties... the leather chairs,toasting forks, & old pianos. Guffawing men in the audience with bow ties & good leather shoes can be heard roaring with laughter at wonderful verses about hippopotamuses in the mud, the gasman, the awful unpredictable weather,the gnother gnu . The smart, sensible women with their court shoes & good tweed suits can be heard tittering over the academic approach to seduction with a few glasses of Madeira..and the fabulous pastiche of Mozart's Horn Concerto. It is all so brilliantly good-natured and delivered in the unshakeable diction of the great BBC english voice of that era. The tunes are hummable for life. Michael Flanders died young & he & Donald Swann with his wizard piano accompaniments left us this wonderful imaginative masterpiece.
