Tip of the Freberg presents four CDs and one VHS-format videotape of classic comedy from the legendary master who paved the way for Saturday Night Live and National Lampoon. This is the definitive collection of the sarcastic but sophisticated Freberg magic, including the best of his famous routines and satirical songs plus unreleased goodies new and old. The set also contains the first-ever CD of his hilarious radio ads and the video has award-winning TV commercials that he wrote and directed. The snappy package comes complete with an actual X-ray of Freberg's skull and it is lovingly annotated with details of who played the music (exotica big kahuna Les Baxter wrote some of the band arrangements), what Freberg's writing and working methods were, and who supplied the characters' voices. (Not surprisingly Freberg did many of the vocal parts himself--he's a capable singer and actor.) The older material remains funny stuff, and the liner notes provide the depth of historical context. This is not a box set that will be played once and then put on the shelf. Everything on Tip of the Freberg is good for repeat plays and hours of laughs in the years ahead.
