Free Music Notes for Why Is There AirFree Music Review: Blast from the Past! Hit: 5 Stars
I'm grateful to the powers that be regarding the decision making to finally put a classic like this on CD. In my childhood days I owned this in LP record format which I purchased from a used record shop for .50 cents. It was in such poor condition the spine of the album cover had a piece of electrical tape holding it together. Nevertheless, I played it countless times and no doubt the stylus on the stereo was screaming for mercy. And now it's available with the obvious pristeen crystal clear recording. It takes me back to the day in first class. Bill is truly funny and proof that you can be without all the gratuitous swearing.
Free Music Review: Way Is There Air? Hit: 5 Stars
Another great cd from Bill Cosby. I mentioned in another review that we had owned all of Bill's 78's back in the day but unfortunately, we lost them in one of our moves. How thrilled we were when we found them on Amazon. Best part, the cd's were used and are in great condition. We felt we had found the "Mother Lode."
Free Music Review: Good clean humor -- really funny! Hit: 5 Stars
My son loved his Christmas gift. I originally had this as a record; time to upgrade. A classic that never gets stale or goes out of style.
Free Music Review: Timeless Look at Life Hit: 5 Stars
Heard this in the original...still spot-on. Just got copies for my sons in their 20's
Free Music Review: 1965 is a while ago, but not much here has aged Hit: 4 Stars
Some comedy greats make quite topical laugh fests. They may be brilliant satire but they can't really be listened to over FORTY YEARS after they were released. Not so with this album.
Following up Billy Cosby Is A Very Funny Fellow Right (1963) and I Started Out As A Child (1964) this 1965 album encompasses timeless and vanilla clean sketches about kindergarten, woodshop class, toothaches and football etc... not really a darn thing that's outlandish or otherworldly or hysterical, but the belly laughs Cosby is able to create from his observations of everyday life and the behaviour and thought patterns of ordinary people particularly during their formative years are truly inspirational.
Sure some of this stuff may sound fairly twee and a bit nerdy now but there is always a place for this kind of child like humour full of innocence and wonder. And for the prices you can score these Warner Archive discs you might as well buy the whole series and be done with it.
