Smothers Brothers - Smothers Comedy Brothers Hour - 1968 - Mercury Records - Comedy/Folk - Vinyl LP/Record Album - Used

This 1968 release from Mercury Records captures the Smothers Brothers at the height of their cultural influence, featuring a sharp collection of satirical sketches and folk parodies taken directly from their groundbreaking and controversial CBS television series. Throughout the album, Tom and Dick Smothers masterfully blend their signature sibling rivalry with the biting political humor that defined the late sixties, covering topical themes from the United Nations and the presidency to the era's anti-war sentiment. As a stereo pressing on the Rubicon River label, this LP serves as a vital time capsule of American satire, showcasing the duo’s transition from lighthearted musical comedians to bold social commentators who pushed the boundaries of network censorship. It is an essential piece for any collector of vintage comedy or fans of the counterculture movement, offering a witty and musically skilled look at the "Victorian Revolution" that transformed television history.
