Alan!!! Yes! I go back a ways with the Goons. St. Martin's Press (my graceless employers) were the first to publish the Goon Show scripts here (they were a part of McMillan back then and still are somehow, but I;m not sure how).
A New York station used to play the shows late on Sunday nights back in the 1970s and I became instantly addicted. The first time I set foot in London I spent all my money on Penguin paperbacks of Spike Milligan books. Got a whole bunch of audio tapes too.
