Box Set
A box set or (its original name) boxed set is a set of items (for example, a compilation of books, musical recordings, films or television programs) traditionally packaged in a box and offered for sale as a single unit. Music Artists and bands with an extremely long and successful career often have anthology or "essential" collections of their boxes of music released as box sets. These often include rare and never-before-released tracks. Some box sets collect previously released boxes of singles or albums by a music artist, and often collect the complete discography of an artist such as Pink Floyd's '' Oh, by the Way'' and '' Discovery'' sets. Sometimes bands release expanded versions of their most successful albums such as Pink Floyd's ''Immersion'' box set versions of their ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' (1973), '' Wish You Were Here'' (1975) and ''The Wall'' (1979) albums. Pink Floyd have also released '' The Early Years 1965–1972'' box set which features mostly unreleased ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album
''Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album'' is the final studio album by Monty Python, released in 1980. As the title suggests, the album was put together to complete a contract with Charisma Records. Besides newly written songs and sketches, the sessions saw re-recordings of material that dated back to the 1960s pre-Python shows '' I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again'', '' The Frost Report'', '' At Last The 1948 Show'' and '' How To Irritate People''. One track, "Bells", dates from the sessions for '' Monty Python's Previous Record'', while further material was adapted from Eric Idle's post-Python series '' Rutland Weekend Television''. The group also reworked material written but discarded from early drafts of '' Life Of Brian'', as well as the initial scripts for what would eventually become '' The Meaning Of Life''. Background The group had not recorded an all-studio album since ''Matching Tie and Handkerchief'' in 1973 and were initially unenthusiastic about returning to t ...

''Monty Python's The Meaning of Life'' is the third and final soundtrack album by Monty Python, released in 1983 alongside their last film.
