Gratuitously GROUCHO

It's a CD compilation of bits and pieces of Groucho's audio work through the years, with the accent on compilation. The sound quality is a bit hit and miss (some of which even I could have fixed), and it has to be said, the quality of the scripts went up and down for me too.

For example, track 4 Livingston Marx, African Explorer just didn't hold together for me, but then that's swiftly followed by Dr Hackenbush which pretty much defines the vaudeville sketch genre.

After all, no matter what the script, with that breakneck delivery, when you listen to Groucho meeting anyone it's hard to turn your brain off afterwards.
