I often refer to this album as the one that started it all. It wasn't my first foray into comedy, but it was one of the very first that I bought. I was living in Colorado at the time and used to love scrounging through thrift stores (I still do, but rarely take the time). I found this one day for $2. I probably bought it more for the orange vinyl than the content. I also picked up George Carlin's Occupation Foole.
I got home and put it on my turntable. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. This album isn't a deep thinker. It's not political at all. Cosby completely ignores any of the social issues of the day and delivers a "nice" album. I don't lose respiratory abilities anymore listening to it, but it's still a finely crafted piece of art.
