I used to have this on tape like 15 years ago, and when I heard his catalog was to be released onto CD, well...that was it for me. Funny, FUNNY album; I still have tears in my eyes I laughed so hard! A must-have for ANY George Carlin fan. Just remember it's "george...g-e-o-r-g-e...o-r-g-e-o-r-g-e......."

On his sixth album, George Carlin relies more on wordplay and his trademark observational humor, resulting in comedic gems like "New News", "Wurds", "Mental Hotfoots", and a very early version of "Baseball-Football". Definitely worth a listen.

This review is from: An Evening With Wally Londo Featuring Bill Slaszo (Audio CD)

This is one of controversial comedian George Carlin's earlier albums, and was recorded in the middle of the 70s and his "experimental" phase. That being said, there's some decent stuff on here (Wurds, Names, and Baseball and Football), but overall George's performance is obviously "enhanced" (hindered) by drugs. He's slurry and very slow - a disappointment for those that have seen him live in the last ten years. Unfortunately, this detracts even from the best material on the CD, of which there are only the three above-named tracks.

Baseball and Football is an early version of this monologue, and the others worth owning are all available with better recordings (and better speech patterns) on other discs. That being said, "An Evening with Wally Londo" will only interest people looking to finish their Carlin collections. If you want a "best-of" or a good introduction to George and his fantastic wordplay, you're better off looking elsewhere.

Final Grade: D
