"Stand-up is not an art form that anyone aspires to as a career." George Carlin may have said that in a fit of pique, but no other comedian save Lenny Bruce has so supremely elevated the business of stand-up. This eight-disc box set collects all of Carlin`s classic Little David/Atlantic recordings in one linguistically damaging package, punctuated by historical liner notes and (natch) a 3-D cover. Everything you always wanted to know about the man who once proclaimed "What am I doing in New Jersey?" found its way onto these eight sides of wax. Now it has been permanently preserved on anodized plastic for your enjoyment, enlightenment, and elucidation.
Albums such as OCCUPATION FOOLE, FM/AM, and the groundbreaking TOLEDO WINDOW BOX virtually defined a generation. The famous "Seven Words You Can`t Say on Television" can be found here, among many others. Carlin has persistently stated that the English language is his ultimate foil. Through his own pungent prism and sardonic wit, he eviscerates, re-examines, and allows us to revisit phraseology, clichTs, and sayings. His sage ruminations on marijuana, bodily functions, and our political affiliations are here, too. It just wouldn`t be Carlinesque without them.
