Albums
[ Compilation Albums: We have noted here those compilation
albums featuring just one or two Cook-related sketches which we regard
as being the most important. There are, of course, countless other
compilation albums and new ones coming out all the time with sketches
featuring Peter Cook, but to have included all of them would have
clogged up the main flow of the discography. If you feel we have missed
out any particularly important ones please drop a line to Clinty
