Summary: The Second Half of the Complete Collection
Review: Suprised to find this in the "books" section - it is also listed in the "music" section, along with its companion volume. When Smithsonian issued the complete Stan Freberg Shows Collection back in 1997, they issued it in two volumes - this is the second of the two (the first is listed elsewhere at Amazon). Stan was at his artistic peak when these shows were produced. After this, he would go into advertising with increasing success. This collection (both volumes), and the first volume of "United States Of America" (also available on CD, thankfully) can be considered the apogee of his entertainment career. True, there may be some folks who don't want to sit through the enire show just to hear their favorite bit. That is what "breakout" collections (like the 2LP Capitol set, "The Best Of The Stan Freberg Shows") are for. If you like what you hear on the "best of" collections, odds are you'll love the complete shows that those bits came from. And they're all here on these two volumes.
