1960 nightclub recordings from Lenny Bruce – done at a time when he was really opening up stylistically, and taking on a host of themes that really tell a tale of the times! The work here is plenty edgey – lots of sharp turns, offbeat ideas, and that sharp wit that makes Bruce one of the greatest sets of eyes to view the 60s from the perspective of the 21st Century. Titles include "Don's Big Dago", "Marriage, Divorce, & Motels", "Father Flotsky's Triumph", "Lima Ohio", and "How To Relax Your Colored Friends At Parties". LP, Vinyl record album
(70s teal label pressing. Cover has some ring and edge wear, center split in the top seam, and some application wrinkles at the spine.)
Amazing work from one of the hippest comedians of the postwar years – not only filled with razor-sharp wit about politics and society of the period, but delivered in a long stream, without any "bits" – a real revolution that made Sahl a huge influence on standup for years to come! LP, Vinyl record album
(Red vinyl pressing. Cover has split top & bottom seams, aging.)
Incudes "Hitler & MCA", "Djinni In The Bottle", "Lima Ohio", "The Phone Company", "Religions Inc", and "How To Relax Your Colored Friends At Parties". LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono maroon label pressing. Cover has ringwear, bumped corners, and some spotty aging in back.)
One of Lenny Bruce's greatest recordings – caught live at the Curran Theatre in his home turf of San Francisco, and right at the perfect point in his career: after he'd abandoned his pat routines and jokes for more free-wheeling improvised monologues, and before he'd lapsed into a paranoid, law-obsessed victim of his own persecutorial history. The 3LP set is a perfect way to hear Bruce – spun out over 2 1/2 hours of endless talking, thinking, reflecting, intellectualizing, and just plain joking. This is more than comedy, it's the verbal equivalent of jazz, and Bruce does it better than anyone else! LP, Vinyl record album
