George Carlin - Take-Offs & Put-Ons
$ 15.00
Before the ponytail, the beard, and the counter-culture icon status, George Carlin was a clean-cut, suit-wearing comedian making appearances on variety shows. Take-Offs & Put-Ons, his debut album released on RCA Camden, captures this fascinating early era. He relies heavily on hilarious character voices and rapid-fire radio parodies (like his legendary 'Wonderful WINO' bit) rather than the biting social commentary he'd later be known for. It’s a brilliant, fast-paced showcase of a young comedic genius discovering his voice and pushing against the boundaries of traditional 1960s comedy.
