Biography

The world is split into two factions: those who laugh at Abbott & Costello and the other half who watch the first half and shake their heads and wonder why. As one of the most popular comedy teams of all time, they never possessed the outrageous class of the Marx Brothers, nor the heart-tugging empathy of Laurel & Hardy. True, they never developed their characters past their original stage… Read more in Amazon's Abbott and Costello Store

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest comedy team ever., May 9, 2000
By "oldtimerocker" (Huntington, WV USA) - See all my reviews
People today laugh at Seinfeld, Sinbad and others. If they want to hear true comedy, listen to these two. Abbott And Costello simply can't be beat. And who can forget "Who's On First! " That is to comedy like "Stairway To Heaven" is to classic rock. This disc will leave you in stitches and wanting more.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Who's On First" never gets old, January 11, 2007
I've been looking for a digital audio version of "Who's On First" for quite a while. That routine alone is worth the price of the disc. The rest of the sketches are pretty typical Abbott & Costello and are worth a listen or two, but the title track is a timeless piece of Americana. This version is somewhat different than the other audio and video versions that I've heard, but as we all know, eventually we find that I Don't Know is on third base and we just "Don't Give A Darn"... Oh yeah, that's our shortstop!

4.0 out of 5 stars The original routines and recordings., December 28, 2006
By Richard Frost (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Expect some static, and to miss the beginning of the routines if you are not ready immediately after pressing "play". Otherwise, it's all great, classic, stuff unjaded by years of re-performance.
