About

As I’ve said before, Carlin doesn’t seem to be too well-known outside of the US. There have however been a few non-US pressings of his stuff, particularly DVDs in Region 2 / PAL format. These include three “Very Best of” DVD sets, released in 2010. Each set contains 4 of his past HBO specials, one per disc.

• The Very Best of: 1977-1984

  • On Location: George Carlin at USC (1977)

  • George Carlin: Again! (1978)

  • Carlin at Carnegie (1983)

  • Carlin on Campus (1984)
