This Sunday is Father's Day, an actual holiday, dedicated to selling neckties.
And while most dads (or paternal figures) are likely happy with an afternoon in their man cave or an uninterrupted bowel movement, here are some of our suggestions that would make the most of the day.
No Pryor Restraint: Life In Concert (7 CD/ 2DVD)
With seven CDs and two DVDs that deliver over 12 hours of prime Richard Pryor hilarity – both familiar and rare – spanning from 1966 to 1992, this essential collection features the best recordings from his early years as a still-developing stand-up, his ’70s-early ’80s glory years as a profane-but-profound comic icon, and one of his final onstage performances in 1992. The deluxe book contains rare photos, multiple essays, exclusive celebrity tributes, a discography, a filmography, and a personal note penned by Richard's widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor. This is the most comprehensive collection ever devoted to the greatest comedian who ever lived and includes nearly two hours of previously unreleased material. DVDs include three complete concert films: Richard Pryor Live In Concert, Richard Pryor Live On The Sunset Strip and Richard Pryor... Here And Now. The CDs collect the best material from Pryor's classic albums for the Laff, Stax and Warner Bros. labels, including: Richard Pryor, 'Craps' (After Hours), That Nigger's Crazy, ...Is It Something I Said?, Bicentennial Nigger, Wanted/Richard Pryor - Live In Concert, Live On The Sunset Strip, Here And Now, as well as tracks released only on the following compilations ...And It's Deep Too! The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings (1968-1992) and Evolution/Revolution: The Early Years (1966-1974).
