Limited six white colored vinyl LP box set. Includes 12" frameable art print of Basil, which John Cleese has signed exclusively for this limited edition run. For the first time ever, a complete vinyl LP collection of Fawlty Towers TV soundtracks - with an exclusive frameable print signed by John Cleese! Four decades on from it's original BBC TV broadcast, Fawlty Towers continues to shine as a masterclass in comedy writing and performance. Now the original four BBC vinyl albums -Fawlty Towers, Second Sitting, At Your Service and A La Carte -are joined by two newly created collections, Plat du Jour and Enjoy Your Stay, to form a box set of all 12 TV episodes. Much of the special linking narration -supplied by hapless waiter Manuel (Andrew Sachs) -is unique to the vinyl versions and hasn't been available since their original pressings. Each of the six LPs is presented in an all-new artwork cover, inside which is a facsimile of the original BBC Records & Cassettes cover (plus 'faux' period covers for Plat du Jour and Enjoy Your Stay). A four-page booklet details the development of Fawlty Towers, plus a history of the original LP releases, by Tim Worthington, author of Top of the Box -a guide to every single released by BBC Records And Tapes.
