In the late sixties and early seventies life moved at a slower pace. Small town life ate away at me until I discovered The Firesign Theatre on the late night radio dial. First heard on Radio Free Oz, with a mixture of improvisational comedy, word play, and references to a new and budding counter-culture, these four guys lit my world on fire! They were funny, irreverant and ... well... FUNNY. Among their many radio shows and early albums were many short skits peopled by Rocky Rococo, Lt. Bradshaw, Catherwood (the butler), Nick Danger, Third Eye, and the lovely (if confused) Nancy. With references to the Beatles, ancient architecture, obscure math theories, and minutiae mined from everyday life by their exceptional minds, they brought to life the unforgettable Nick Danger, Third Eye. Here in this set they have brought together all of the adventures from their ten albums along with some rarely heard and vaguely remembered skits and adventures from their live radio broadcasts. This set is an absolute must for the fans of The Firesign Theatre, and an unquestionable necessity for any Nick Danger fan. I give it a big thumbs up for it's chronological compilation of the Nick Danger series. Thank you Firesign for the revisit of my youth. No matter how many times I hear these skits, I can always gather something new from the background (or foreground) and they will always make me laugh. They'll make you laugh too, I guarantee it!Read full review
1st Firesign recording I have been sorely disappointed in - 1st recording is of a standard recording released on other LPs (good, but released MANY times). Last CD is a LIVE version of the 1st CD, and the recording is poor (its live). Other is a mix-mosh of other shorts no longer than 3 minuets each (most 30 to 90 seconds). Very poorly planned and executed. The producers should have left well enough alone and not attempted to cobble 'a set' together.

All the great Nick Danger stuff in one nice box set plus a bunch of Nick Danger that hasen't been released until this set. If you are a Firesign Theater fan, you need to have a copy of this! I highly recommend it!!!
Hard to find and pricey when you do.
