Richard Stillgo where is he? also anyone heard of Jake Manglewurtzel?

A couple of Goon records which I didn't include before, not through any major conspiracy, I just seemed to have forgotten to take a picture of them. As you do.

'The Best of the Goon Shows No 2':

'The World of the Goons':

'The Last Goon Show of All'

I'll try and gather my Hancock records together next week in the virtual comedy e-pen. They're by no means an exhaustive collection as there are rather a lot of them, but it's a representative trawl nevertheless.

And if we're discussing Comic Strip related records, here's another I forgot about, Cliff Richard and the Young Ones - 'Living Doll':

So Hancock. My dad had a few Hancock records so I listened to the shows from an early age. Our boxer dog decided to eat them one day so after that I was very glad of my chunky tape recorder and the cassette collection I built up. We gave the dog away to a family in Basildon not long afterwards. That'll teach it. Anyway, I love Hancock and still record them off the fancy digital radio thing, but look at the loveliness of the vinyl. This guy http://www.railwaycuttings.co.uk/records.htm has pretty much the definitive Hancock ephemera site. I tend to draw the line at owning seven copies of the same record just because the label is a slightly different colour, so here is my fairly incomplete Hancock collection:

This Is Hancock:

Pieces of Hancock:

Unique Hancock:

The Best of Tony Hancock:

The World of Tony Hancock:

For that political period in time I think that sticker is a little insensitive.

Now when you get into Hancock web pages and appreciation societies, what a can of worms you open there !

They may be little pricks to you, but that's life or death to some poor bugger.

Ah, the much sought after sweary Hancock tapes!

He's got a son called Joe who appears to be carrying on the family business. He was on a recent Now Show.

I wondered if it was a relative, always listen to that.

There was quite a mania for bad 80s rap comedy wasn't there?
