 It made my day!

| I've been looking for the Noel Coward Carnival Of The Animals for years without success. Finally today I tried again, this time on Amazon using: -- "Noel Coward" carnival -- as the search term and: There it was! And paired with the Carol Channing Archie & Mehitabel to boot! This is a gem more valuable than the Hope Diamond. |

Wonderful memories

I have this as an LP, but as I have also not had a turntable for many years, have not been able to play it.
So I have found that this CD is a wonderful nostalgia trip, and find that I remember every single word.
I'm afraid that my cats are house cats (this is said with Mehitabel's unique voice, the only "cat" voice in a human that is perfect.
No-one else could ever play Mehitabel but Carol Channing, and Archie almost - (only almost) makes me like cockroaches.
To those who haven't heard this wonderful small account of life from Archie, you have missed out on something wonderful.... |

I ordered this product to be delivered to my daughter in Seattle, and also ordered a machinerys handbook cd to be delivered to the same address. The hand book cd arrived fine, but two weeks later I was advised that the product in question ,Archy & Mehitabel, was returned as undelilverable, even though the address was correct.
I now find that this product is unobtainable, and am very disappointed in the delivery arrangements. |

I had been searching for the Noel Coward/LSO version of 'Carnival of the Animals', on and off for 20 years. Put those terms into the Amazon search- 0 results. By chance I looked at the 'Archy' and could not believe my eyes. Now, glorious universe, I cannot believe my ears. All those years wondering if my memory deluded me. Listening to ?25 others stumbling through those same words- pop singers, actors, violinists, newsreaders. The Master's perfect, clipped diction allied to one of the few real 20th.C. masters of the language, combined with lovely, lively music( OK aimed at kids- that suits me)adds up to many happy hours removed from earthly cares.
Amazon- Thanks, but, improve your search facility.
I will, separately, thank those who resurrected this life-enhancing item |

 Brings Back Fond Childhood Memories

| As a child I owned and played to near extinction a long playing 45 rpm of the 'Back Ally Opera.' Eventhough the record was long lost I thought of it often. I've collected old-time radio to share with my grandchildren and wanted to share the Adventures of Archy & Mehitabel with the grand children as well. Recently I mentioned to my savy son that I had not been able to find the record, new or used. Within minutes, he searched a music site that led us to the availability on Amazon.com. Quick delivery; low price. Thanks. |
