An Absolute Shower 2
on sale December 20
Hard on the heels of our 2019 worldwide smash-hit - 'An Absolute Shower' - comes the cunningly titled 'An Absolute Shower 2' - another delve into the archives of classic British comedy on vinyl - all of it conveniently out-of-copyright, of course
Tommy Cooper, Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Bernard Bresslaw grace the grooves of another Fruits de Mer Christmas cracker, hopefully showing that the label can be laughed with, as well as laughed at.
The songs you'll enjoy (at least for the first two or three times ypu play the record - how on Earth did Phil the lathecutter manage to sit through it 61 times?) are:
side one
Peter Sellers - ‘I’m So Ashamed’ ( from 1958)
Spike Milligan -
‘Wormwood Scrubs Tango’ (1962)
Side two
Tommy Cooper -
‘Don’t Jump Off The Roof, Dad’ (1961)
Bernard Bresslaw -
‘You Need Feet’ (1958)
Copies of 'Absolute Shower 2' will only be offered to people on an FdM mailing-list and it's likely to be another luck-of-the-draw job, depending on how many people get in touch asking for a copy.
More news soon - full details of how and when to stake a claim to a copy will be included in a Fruits de Mer email sometime in October/November...
