- Dated, but that's part of the fun
A reasonably-priced compilation featuring all their best; I purchased it for:
Madeira M'dear
The Gnu
The gas man cometh
The Hippopotamus
Patriotic Prejudice
There are some other gems on there, but the interspersed bits of stand-up are quickly tiring, and the subject matter of much of the satire has become obscure.

- A transport of delight, let down by some strange editing
The material on this CD is superb - Flanders and Swann were wonderful performers and superb comic song writers. Not only that, but they're clearly thoroughly enjoying performing - you can clearly hear Swann laughing away during Flander's monologues, even though he must have heard it all hundreds of times before.

- Delightful indeed.
This recording comprises 19 selections (plus two intros) taken from the three CDs available as a boxed set. Nine of Hat's 17 selections, nine of Another Hat's 17, and only one of Bestiary's 25. (Several of the omitted items from the two Hat albums include spoken pieces by Flanders, and pieces played and sung by Swann alone.) Purchasing this album will get you the most good F&S for your money, particularly if you have a special interest in just one of the selections -- every hornist aware of its existence ... Read More
