This CD is obviously billed as a biography. One look at, I don't know, anywhere on the jacket would clue you in. The first reviewer was looking for a comedy album and didn't find it and so of course he was disappointed. However, as a biography goes this was concise and well thought out with many excerpts from interviews with friends and family, and excerpts from Bruce's performances as well. The narration can be bit muggy at parts and they don't always identify who is talking, but overall it is a speedy and easy way to get to know the life of Lenny Bruce with some comedy mixed in as well.

Well, this was a real disappointment.What we have here is a cd that is mostly a gentleman reading a fair-quality essay about Lenny Bruce, interspersed with some recordings of Lenny and recordings of interviews with others about Lenny. The recordings are all OBVIOUSLY taken from old vinyl records, with lots of scratches. That's right, that means that there is no new material to be found here. I also wonder if all the rights for these recordings were arranged. The brief Lenny snippets don't often even go with the essay being read, and the whole pile of slop has some attempted important-sounding synth music added in. It is not a fun listen. I do not recommend it, except for completists.
