	'''''Derek and Clive (Live)''''' is the debut comedy record recorded by [[Derek and Clive]], drunken alter-egos created by comedy duo [[Peter Cook]] and [[Dudley Moore]]. The double act began as a private joke between the two of them at the [[Electric Lady Studios]], as a way of easing the tension of their 1973 [[Broadway theatre\|Broadway]] show ''Good Evening''. Originally, the record was never intended for release, but when [[Bootleg recording\|bootleg]] copies of the recordings proved popular, Cook decided there was money to be made and, padding the record out with live material recorded at the [[The Bottom Line (venue)\|Bottom Line]] in [[New York City]], the album was released in 1976.

'''''Derek and Clive (Live)''''' is the debut comedy record recorded by [[Derek and Clive]], drunken alter-egos created by comedy duo [[Peter Cook]] and [[Dudley Moore]]. The double act began as a private joke between the two of them at the [[Electric Lady Studios]], as a way of easing the tension of their 1973 [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] show ''Good Evening''. Originally, the record was never intended for release, but when [[Bootleg recording|bootleg]] copies of the recordings proved popular, Cook decided there was money to be made and, padding the record out with live material recorded at the [[The Bottom Line (venue)|Bottom Line]] in [[New York City]], the album was released in 1976. The record was very nearly called ''Derek and Clive (Dead)''.

The sleeve notes give a flavour of the production of the record:

"[[Peter Cook]] and [[Dudley Moore]] were appearing on Broadway in the show "Good Evening" when they first happened upon two brilliant new talents. [[Derek and Clive]] were working at the time in the toilets of the [[British Trade Centre]]. Cook and Moore were quick to see that they had made a major discovery and after much persuasion, including a packet of [[Craven A]] and a bottle of [[Tizer]], Derek and Clive agreed to perform at the [[Electric Lady Studios]]. With growing assurance they appeared in front of a small, invited audience (Dudley Moore). The record you have bought is a mixture of the two evenings. Once they had mastered which end of the microphone to talk into, Derek and Clive gained enormously in confidence. Their method is basically a stream of unconsciousness, a mixture of [[Dylan Thomas]] and [[Mae West]], with overtones of [[Goethe]]. At a time when [[United Kingdom|British]] influence is declining throughout the world, Derek and Clive represent welcome evidence of what this great country could be. They are a ray of hope on a darkening horizon. Their philosophy is both an inspiration to youth and hope for the senile. On this record they discuss fully and frankly the major problems confronting a confused world.

Poets? satirists? philosophers? comedians? social commentators? Derek and Clive sum it up more succinctly. "Just a couple of cunts" is their frank self-appraisal."
