Released in 1982, this album featured extracts from a number of releases available at the time and included a booklet advertising what was available. As can be seen, the Hancock releases featured were Unique Hancock, Hancock, The Poetry Society/Sid's Mystery Tours and The Americans Hit Town/The Unexploded Bomb. The 14 extracts featured on the 'Laughing Stock' album included Yes Minister, The Goons and Hoffnung. There were two extracts from Hancock: a 2 minute extract from the very beginning of 'Almost A Gentleman' and a 4 Minute extract from 'The Americans Hit Town', starting from the moment when Kenneth, inspects 23 Railway Cuttings.
