I always thought the Smothers Brothers were one of the more underrated acts ever. When will the DVDs of the Smothers Brothers come out??? June 6, 2008

I was so excited to get this CD because The Smothers Brothers really are a genius act but the sound quality of the CD was not great, in some of the songs it sounds like only one of the brothers was miked so you can hear one but barely the other. I've tried re-adjusting the quality and it helped a bit but not enough to really get the best benefit. January 1, 2008

More funny than I had remembered (and I remembered really loving them!) This was a wonderful way to listen again to the joys of Tom and Dick, and better yet, to introduce my kids. They are still funny, and my rather cynical teenagers loved listening in the car with me. October 3, 2007

This CD takes me back to watching the Smothers Brothers on TV years ago. If you miss folk singers, comedy without four-letter words and TV variety shows, then you will enjoy this as much as I did! April 10, 2007

The Smothers Brothers issued ten MERCURY label records between 1961 and '68. With a catalog that large, a single-disc "best of" collection is almost certain to omit some great material due to time constraints. Mason Williams, who had a Top 40 hit in 1968 with "Classical Gas," wrote many of the Brother's funniest tunes, including one that was probably deemed too politically incorrect for this CD. It appeared on MOM ALWAYS LIKED YOU BEST, and was called "The Three Song." This was about a girl who yearned to be asked to dance-- the only drawback was she had THREE LEGS!

Not counting their PLAY IT STRAIGHT album, the Smothers have a catalog of almost 100 tracks. Only one-fifth of their recordings are here, and since this "best of" collection was issued in 1998, the chances are probably slim that a Volume Two or box set will appear anytime soon. That's a real shame, too.

Remastering on this RHINO product is excellent. The CD includes a foldout style booklet with an interesting three-page bio.
