5.0 out of 5 stars Early work -- brilliant!, July 25, 2000

(I have a earlier UK version on some dodgy Scottish label) I never fail to laugh out loud at this, even after probably nearly twenty years. The Jobbie Wheecha is a masterpiece of the rambling Connolly joke. I persuaded my wife (from Michigan) to listen to this and now one of her favorite catch phrases is "munchety crunchety!" (A reference to circumventing a couple of stages in the food chain.)

Myself, I favour "Pick im up, Ah want tae pit the heid on im!" from "Harry Campbell." You might need a friend or a translation guide at first, but well worth the effort (full points to anyone who can get their hands on a "Big Yin" book from the 70s.) BUY IT!

I expected to hear Billy Connolly as he was earlier in his career. Very disappointed. OK, but wouldn't recommend unless you know his comedy for right now. He used to be hilarious; you couldn't keep from laughing. Guess I expected too much.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quite funny but only seven tracks, May 3, 2009

This review is from: Comedy & Songs (Audio CD)

Of couse in the CD age we've gotten a bit spoilt, but the fact that this came out in 1999 and has only seven tracks is a bit of a travesty.

Doubly so because the material is pretty good, Scottish comedic legend Connolly swearing his way through subjects as diverse as Glasgow accents, the food chain, anecdotal stories of growing up in Glasgow and musical tastes all in his engaging and rambling style.

If you can score it cheap this is a good buy, though my preference would be for the Live 1995 as it has more verve and is taken from the mans tour of Australia in that year and therefore feels more coherent as a release.
