Peter Cook & Dudley Moore - By Appointment (1967)

Even though their heyday was the mid to late 60's, Peter and Dud are two of my favourite comedians, and I still play their albums more than any other comedy records that I own. I also have a few of their singles and EP's, and this post includes all their Decca singles from 1965-1967, plus their 1965 Parlophone EP. It's a great collection of comic songs, jazz instrumentals and comedy sketches, and while a couple of the tracks might not really warrant repeated plays, there's enough good stuff on here to reinforce the duo's reputation as one of the UK's most popular comedy acts. Dudley Moore was also an extremely talented pianist, and made a number of superb jazz albums, and over the years I've managed to find every one that's he's ever made, which was quite a task, but well worth it as they are some of my all-time favourite jazz trio records. But for now, enjoy the comedy talents of this legendary duo.
