Long before Bob Newhart became a TV star, he was America's best-selling comedian on record. It started in the '50s when he was an accountant in Chicago. Bored silly, Newhart made tapes of imaginary phone conversations with various oddball characters. A local DJ introduced the tapes to an exec at Warner Bros. Records-and the rest, as they say, is history: Newhart became a star almost overnight. In 1960, The Button-Down Mind Of Bob Newhart album sold 750,000 copies in the U.S., and was the first comedy album to hit #1 on the charts. With the release of his follow-up, The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back!, Newhart captured the record for longest simultaneous #1 and #2 albums on the chart (The mark stood for more than three decades until Guns 'N Roses came along.) The comedian recorded several more albums through 1967, creating a series of hilarious, tremendously popular stand-up routines that are now considered all-time classics-the very best and most memorable of which are collected on "Something Like This..." The Bob Newhart Anthology. This fall-on-the-floor funny 2-CD set is the only comprehensive Newhart retrospective available, featuring such immortal bits as Abe Lincoln Vs. Madison Avenue, "Merchandising The Wright Brothers, The Cruise Of The U.S.S. Codfish, Driving Instructor and King Kong plus new liner notes written by comic Judy Brown. So just say "Hi, Bob" and prepare to laugh out loud at the "Duke of Deadpan"!
