Rating: 
The Carry On films may not be to everyone’s taste but this collection of music and dialogue from the series is a highpoint for fans. Compiled in categories, rather than the chronological line-up you might expect, the material is highly evocative of both the period and its British origins with ‘Rule Britannia’ making its debut in the first cue (‘Carry On Up The Khyber’). The dialogue clips, though at times overlong, are well-chosen and amusing; the fact that there are many more similar ones that didn’t make it however may be a reminder of the limitations of the series’ originality and this saminess becomes tired as the CD progresses. Songs written for the films, particularly spoof horror ‘Carry On Screaming’ and ‘Carry On Cowboy’ add something a little different and an incidental song from the latter’s score, ‘This Is The Night For Love’, sung by Carry On star Angela Douglas, is a reminder of just how good some of the music remains. Two detailed booklets, one containing synopses from the films, the other with production notes and poster art, demonstrate a true love of the subject that stretches beyond either the quality of the films themselves or their sometimes tired turns of phrase. If you love Carry On, you won’t be disappointed. An outstanding package!
