Editorial Review

The Firesign Theatre's Box of Danger: The Complete Nick Danger Casebook turns the spotlight on the legendary comedy troupe's most famous creation: Nick Danger, Third Eye. This 4-CD box set assembles for the first time such legendary skits as "Cut 'Em Off at the Past," "The Case of the Missing Shoe," "The Three Faces of Al," plus a wealth of rare and unreleased items from Nick's tattered casebook.

Danger is Firesign's take on the hard-boiled detective character, with firstperson narration and crazy adventures that often involve mistaken identity, and of course there's always a dangerous dame. The skits spoof the conventions of those old detective radio shows, right down to the special effects, the sponsors, the on-air host, the convoluted plots and just about anything else that one might have heard on a classic serial. Formed in 1967, the Firesign Theater revolutionized recorded comedy by introducing a surreal sensibility that endeared them to hippies of the `60s and `70s as well as stoners and slackers of the `80s, `90s and beyond. They have released more than 30 albums--for Columbia, Rhino, and other labels--and their 1994 reunion show was so successful that they renewed their partnership for a slew of new albums, taking them right into the 21st century.
