If you have a long car journey or plane trip coming up and you like the sound of people being harangued in a hoarse Dundee accent then, boy, has iTunes got a treat for you. Download The Best of George Galloway, Vol 1, sit back and enjoy four hours of the Respect bruiser's finest moments, including 2005's smash hit Galloway v Paxman and the epic Galloway v Hitchens, while mouthing along to such vintage lines as: "If you ask that question again, I'm going."

Galloway is the only serving MP with the rhetorical chops to inspire such an odd enterprise. John F Kennedy's assassination prompted the vinyl release of The Presidential Years 1960-1963. Motown's Black Forum imprint released classic speeches by Martin Luther King and Stokely Carmichael. Hardcore Potus buffs can even buy an album of William Howard Taft's 1908 campaign speeches. But I can't imagine there would be many takers for What I Say Is: The Very Best of Ed Miliband. Only Galloway has enough ripe phrasemaking, righteous indignation and old-school showmanship to make anyone even think of charging £7.99 for his performances.

Needless to say, it's still a record of somewhat selective appeal. The compiler's bias is clear from the titles, which include Galloway Savages Fox News and Galloway Tares [sic] Senator a New Arse Senate Hearing. And the whole thing has the slipshod sincerity of a piece of fan art. There is one deeply weird attempt to make music out of Galloway's defence of his expenses on a radio phone-in. It worked for Malcolm X on 1983's hip hop mashup No Sell Out, but then Malcolm didn't open with the words: "Let's go to Kevin in Sale."

With little from the post-Celebrity Big Brother years (hold tight for Vol 2: The Cream of George Galloway), the emphasis is on Galloway's firebreathing anti-war period. His clash with Christopher Hitchens at New York's Baruch University in 2005 is both an intriguing period piece and a study in contrasting polemical styles, if that's your bag.

But despite the light relief of Galloway's spat with Paxman, and one unexpectedly soaring moment when a moon-landing conspiracy theorist inspires him to wax lyrical about the human spirit, the MP's default mode of florid hectoring makes this hard work for all but the most fervent Georgistas. If you can make it through the whole thing in one go then I salute your indefatigability.
