George Carlin Little David Years 1971-1977 Genres:Special Interest, Pop George Carlin may be known today for all sort of things aside from his comedy recordings--HBO specials, concert tours, books, and film roles. But his most beloved work, the mother lode of humor upon which his reputation is... more » based, are the recordings in the seven-CD collection George Carlin: The Little David Years (1971-1977). On albums such as Class Clown, Occupation: Foole, and the Grammy-winning FM & AM, Carlin redefined what it meant to be stand-up comic: he was a hip, intelligent, social satirist who was also extremely funny and entertaining. And he still is. The issues he was making fun of in the '70s are still around, which is why routines such as "7 Dirty Words" have lost none of their punch or humor. It's all here in a wondrous box set, including the complete contents of six classic records and a CD of rarities from his early years. Recent Carlin converts (as well as those who remember laughing at this stuff when it came out on LPs and 8-tracks) should all consider this great career retrospective. --John Sulak« less

"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
