Two classic Goon Show releases out in April
April sees the launch of this brand new series of Goon Show collector's editions, featuring every available episode of the groundbreaking, classic series - presented for the first time on CD in chronological order of broadcast.
Each volume will feature two extensive 16-page booklets, written by Goons expert Andrew Pixley and CD producer Ted Kendall, giving background notes on the recordings and a history of the programme's development.
Volume 1 features the first 13 episodes from Series 5 (recordings of much of the first four series haven't survived), written by Spike Milligan and Eric Sykes and starring Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers.
Although many of the episodes on this first volume have previously been released on individual volumes, these new versions have been re-mastered using fresh source material and sound technology. The set also includes some bonus material: Peter Sellers impersonating the Goons characters in an archive programme 'Me and My Shadows', plus outtakes and some specially recorded BBC7 introductions from Eric Sykes.
This is a 'must-have' gift for all Goon Show fans and collectors.
Four more vintage episodes of the highly esteemed Goon Show and as before with the previous 24 Volumes, all digitally re-mastered to give the best in audio quality.

The End, or Confessions of a Secret Senna-Pod Drinker (22 March 1955)
