Not a bad introduction to Benny Hill

"This Cd compilation is comprised of mainly older Benny Hill recordings. There are over 20 tracks, so it is certainly worth the money. The quality is not bad, but not incredible. It is a shame that none of the recordings from his later career made it onto the Cd. Overall, a worthwhile purchase."

Snap it up for some fun

"Yes, this is some of Benny's older recordings from long ago, but all his whit and pizzazz come through just as well as in his more recent songs. It's unfortunate even at this late date that no one still has snapped up more of his recordings to compile more of his songs on to more CD's, and he has had a lot in his career. At least I have heard that someone is finally trying to do a more proper compilation of all his TV shows, and starting up a series of DVD's. So you should snap up this one along with the other one of his "Best of Benny Hill". It's a small amount of his songs so far, but well worth the humor when just doing chores around the house, or riding along in the car, or if you have permission while at work (not that he's really all that dirty, just a bit of insinuation which is where he gets some of his humor from and can still keep it clean enough for most of the family). A couple of the songs on this one are also on the other, but they are different versions recorded at different times. You may also notice some lyrics in some songs to be similar, which is what he did sometimes when he might have been lacking a few extra lyrics to fill a song, or he might have thought it was such a good joke to use it repeatedly. And that is also where Benny's whit comes into play, he had such a way with his words especially so when he wrote songs."
