Review Text
Limited 12 gold colored vinyl LP box set. Demon Records presents all four TV series on vinyl LP for the very first time - with an exclusive frameable print signed by Tony Robinson. Rescued from a dusty shelf in a long-forgotten archive, Blackadder's Historical Record brings the bawdy, brutal and blithering bits of history to life via 24 full-cast TV soundtrack episodes. Housed in a leather-look rigid box with lift-off lid are a 12" frameable print portrait of Baldrick (each copy individually signed by Tony Robinson), a color illustrated booklet detailing cast, transmission and production credits (with sleeve notes from Tony Robinson), and 12 vinyl discs housed inside a dozen splendidly era-inspired inner sleeves. From The Black Adder and Blackadder II to Blackadder the Third and Blackadder Goes Forth, this is one of British TV's best-loved sitcoms, which propelled it's stars and writers on to become household names. Written by Richard Curtis & Rowan Atkinson (Series 1) and Richard Curtis & Ben Elton (Series 2-4) the episodes star Rowan Atkinson as the eponymous anti-hero, with Tony Robinson as his hapless manservant Baldrick. A star-studded supporting cast includes Tim McInnerny, Miranda Richardson, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, with guest appearances by Rik Mayall, Miriam Margolyes, Brian Blessed, Tom Baker and many, many more. (Cunning plan not included.)
