I'm all for a bit of dirty, surreal, and political comedy, especially if there is a potty mouthed ventriloquist's dummy thrown in for good measure, but the trouble with these Richard and Willie albums from the late 1960's to the early 1970's, is that they are not that funny, the politics is laboured (not that way) and they are just foul mouthed yet boring (hard to believe, l know). Created by Richard Sanfield (Willie is the dummy) in 1967. They may be funnier live, but these feature live performances, so l pretty much doubt it. Bit of a shame really, as the idea is magnificent.
If you want to check out various dummies through the ages, there's a great site here.
