My principle reason for buying this is that it's the first time 'The Scarlet Capsule' has appeared on CD: the BBC CD release of the 'Best of' LPs is a one-disc edition which omits this episode. It's all to the good then that this release takes the two-CD approach, and generously adds on some Goon songa to fill up some of the empty space. Sadly the BBC dont't seem to want to release on their 'Compendium' series episodes which featured on the EMI LPs in the Sixties and Seventies, such as 'China Story', so a reissue of the LPs is the only way we can get hold of them on CD, even though EMI did hack them about a bit. Hopefully the sales of this set will encourage One Day Music to put out further reissues.
Bought as a 'stocking filler' for my husband at Christmas. He's really enjoying listening to the wacky, 'off the wall', completely silly humour again. I have to admit that in listening again, I think I originally underestimated the timeless, classic, simple comedy of it all. Such fun!

I brought this Goons as part of my Dads Christmas present, I brought it because my Dad is a big Goons and the CD is an unusable gift, the songs are some of there best work funny and enjoyable. I would recommend this CD to any Goons fan or as a gift to a Goons fan. I would buy this CD again for myself or as a gift.
