FAVOURITE COMEDY ALBUMS

  
FAVOURITE COMEDY ALBUMS
 
FOREWORD: During the ’60s and ’70s, comedy albums made a deep impact on American society. But towards the ’80s, commercial radio and moronic corporate label politics kept any worthwhile non-musical acts from gaining major exposure. Perhaps HBO has filled in the gap.

FAVOURITE COMPILATIONS – CONCERTS / VARIOUS ARTISTS

FAVOURITE COMPILATIONS – CONCERTS / VARIOUS ARTISTS

 
FOREWORD: Amongst thousands of singles (45 RPM vinyl recordings), these compilations fill out my collection of rock, soul, country, punk, and more. Various artists, some well-known, others merely one or no-hit wonders, are featured. Towards the bottom of this list (from #80 on down) are less-known collections that contain a few ‘nuggets’ I wouldn’t be caught without – but little else.
