5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Carlin-It ages slowly and can still make you laugh, September 23, 2006

This review is from: Little David Years 1971-1977 (Audio CD)

I love great comedy in all forms -from Robin Williams,Bill Maher, Kevin Smith films, Chris Rock & the cast of Everyone Hates Chris, Bob Newhart, The old classic Dick van Dyke show to South Park, Bill Cosby, ALF, Mel Brooks, Buster Keaton, Don Rickles, and Jerry Lewis. So actor and comedian George Carlin has a special place in my heart. His wit and humor is messaged to the audience, most of his comedy bites are still timeless years and years later.

The Little David Years (1971-1977) is the first six classic carlin albums with an extra CD of Carlin stuff from that time not on album or CD. These CD albums including such routines as" The seven words you cant say on television" and its sequel "Filthy Words", Ed Sullivan, Football/Baseball, Occupation Foole, and " Death and Dying".

Carlin is witty and thought provoking. He will make you laugh and think-sometime at the same time. These comic routines are 35 years old and still can pack a punch and a laugh

Worth it for any person who enjoys great comedy

I have tons of comedy CD's, but this set is the most unbelievabally funny out of all of them! George Carlin tells it like it is in this set and I recommend that all of you raunchy and intelligent comedy lovers buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent Collection, March 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Little David Years 1971-1977 (Audio CD)

You are looking at a George Carlin box set which contains six early albums of his and a new disc with previously-unreleased material. George Carlin is a legend, the voice of three generations and these six early albums show what he was when he was just starting out with actual stand-up comedy. His first solo album, Take-Offs and Put-Ons is sketch comedy, which is good in its place, FM&AM is half stand-up half sketch, but Class Clown is Carlin's first entirely stand-up album and it is great, as are the other five albums in this collection.

The seventh disc is great for Carlin fans because it shows his unreleased stand-up from through-put the years, but people who are new to Carlin should not start by listening to this disc but to the others in the collection, leaving #7 for last.

Some people have complained about the fade-in/fade-out thing, but what you have to understand is the original Vinyls had them, and if they were taken out, Toledo Window Box wouldn't be Toledo Window Box, FM & AM wouldn't be FM&AM (etc.) they would just be concerts.

this is a must-buy for all fans of Carlin.
