Blackadder’s Historical Record – 40th Anniversary

Demon Records presents all four TV series on vinyl LP for the very first time – with an exclusive frameable print signed by Tony Robinson “History, here I come!” 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 colour illustrated booklet detailing cast, transmission and production credits (with sleeve notes from Tony Robinson), and 12 opulent, gold colour 140g 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 its stars and writers on to become household names. Written by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson (Series 1) and Richard Curtis and 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.
