Whilst Peter Sellers would ultimately become hugely successful as a comedy actor, most notably with the Pink Panther series of films, he made his name thanks to his contributions to The Goon Show. His ability to come up with a wide variety of voices for the show, including the likes of Major Dennis Bloodnok, Bluenottle, Henry Crun and Grytpype Thynne, among countless others, made him as vital to the show as writer Spike Mulligan. His vocal ability soon had a number of record companies knocking on his door, with George Martin of Parlophone convincing him to do three albums in two years that were extremely well received. This album, which comprises mainly of the 1959 album The Best Of Sellers, also features the hit singles recorded by The Goons during the same era.
