The Instant Monty Python CD Collection
''The Instant Monty Python CD Collection'' is a box set released in 1994 of six CDs containing eight albums by the Monty Python troupe. It does not include the first Monty Python record, ''Monty Python's Flying Circus'', whose rights are still owned by the BBC. It contained a small booklet of reprinted material from album sleeves and previous Python books. Track listing For this release, each album was represented by two tracks, with each track corresponding to one side of the original vinyl pressings. For instance, the entire first half of ''Another Monty Python Record'' is the first track, while the entire second half is the second track. Due to each side of vinyl being roughly 20–30 minutes, and each CD able to hold up to 80 minutes, ''Monty Python's Previous Record'' and ''Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album'' were split across two discs. In addition, sketches and songs were not indexed separately. Instead, the packaging made reference to what each album containe ...

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 mate ... [...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 the re ...

Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life (album)
''Monty Python's The Meaning of Life'' is the third and final soundtrack album by Monty Python, released in 1983 alongside their last film. Billed as "The only soundtrack album to be introduced by ''live'' fish! (apart from some copies of 'Shane')", it consists of sketches and songs from the film, with a few links performed by Michael Palin and a brief appearance from Terry Gilliam. The album features dialogue which didn't make it into the final cut of the film as well as additional sound effects to help with the audio medium. "The Adventures of Martin Luther" sequence is introduced but does not appear. The sketch itself was excised from the final cut of the film but was eventually reinstated 20 years later for the DVD "Director's Cut", although it did feature in the illustrated script book which accompanied the film's release. The film's songs are included in full, with "Christmas In Heaven" having a longer fade-out than appears in the film. The original UK vinyl release had ...

Monty Python's Life Of Brian (album)
''Monty Python's Life of Brian'' is the second soundtrack album by Monty Python, released in 1979 alongside the film of the Monty Python's Life of Brian, same name. It contains scenes from the film interrupted by linking sections performed by Eric Idle and Graham Chapman, who also acted as producers following an aborted attempt at a soundtrack album by Michael Palin. The album opens with a brief rendition of "Hava Nagila" on Great Highland Bagpipe, Scottish bagpipes, which had earlier been considered for use in a scene later cut from the film. In common with the controversy surrounding the film, the album was banned in Ireland after Brian D'Arcy, Father Brian D'Arcy highlighted how it had worked its way through a loophole in the country's censorship laws, claiming "Anybody who buys the record and finds it funny must have something wrong with their mentality". Nevertheless, the album reached No.63 in the UK Albums Chart. A 7" single (K17495) Double A-side of "Brian Song, Brian"/"Al ...

The Album Of The Soundtrack Of The Trailer Of The Film Of Monty Python And The Holy Grail
''The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail'' is the first film soundtrack album by Monty Python, released in 1975. It features selected scenes from '' Monty Python and the Holy Grail'' interspersed with a large volume of new studio material, much of which centers on a spoof screening of the film at the Classic Silbury Hill Theatre. Also among the new items is the "Marilyn Monroe" sketch, which Graham Chapman co-wrote with Douglas Adams - the pair having recently collaborated on the fourth series of '' Monty Python''. The album is billed as the 'Executive Version' as a joke on popular 'special editions"' of albums that contained extra tracks unavailable on earlier versions. Naturally, no other version of this album existed when it was originally released. On the A-side of the original UK vinyl release, the engraved text by George Peckham around the label reads: "AN EXECUTIVE PORKY PRIME CUT", while on the B-side it reads: "THIS IS ...

Monty Python Live At Drury Lane
''Monty Python Live at Drury Lane'' is a live album released by Monty Python in 1974. It was recorded on the final night of their four-week run at the Drury Lane Theatre in London earlier that year and edited onto disc with new studio linking material by Eric Idle and Michael Palin. The majority of the sketches are from ''Flying Circus'' and vary slightly from their television counterparts, although "Cocktail Bar" was written for the third series but not used. The team also revived sketches from ''At Last The 1948 Show'', including "Secret Service", "Wrestling" and "Four Yorkshiremen" - the latter on its way to being adopted as a Python standard. Neil Innes provided the musical interludes, while Eric Idle's then wife Lyn Ashley replaced regular Python actress Carol Cleveland in supporting roles. As with its predecessor, the second side of the original UK vinyl release had a cryptic message by George Peckham etched onto the runout groove, which read "THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF PORKY ...

The Monty Python Matching Tie And Handkerchief
''The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief'' is the fourth album by the comedy group Monty Python, released in 1973. Most of the material was newly written for the album along with a handful of sketches from the third series of ''Flying Circus'', one from the second (" Bruces") and another from the first ("Pet Conversions"). The team were once again joined by Neil Innes, who provided a trio of rock music parodies for "The Background to History". The album was famously mixed and edited in a garden shed belonging to the father of producer Andre Jacquemin. Background The initial pressings were designed to resemble a box containing a tie and handkerchief, the concept being that the record was merely a 'free gift' included with the package. It was also notable for its inner artwork, which was visible through a cutaway hole in the album's outer sleeve. It appeared to be a simple Terry Gilliam artwork of a tie and handkerchief, but when the card insert was pulled out it revealed ...

Monty Python's Previous Record
''Monty Python's Previous Record'' is the third album by Monty Python. Released in 1972, it marked the group's first collaborations with regular sound engineer Andre Jacquemin as well as musician Neil Innes, who had previously appeared with future members of the Python team on ''Do Not Adjust Your Set''. The album contains many sketches from the third series of ''Flying Circus'', one (Fish Licence) from the second as well as an abridged version of "The Tale of Happy Valley" from the second German show. The album was released midway through the broadcast of Series 3, whose sketches featured on the album were all from its first half, with the exception of "Dennis Moore" which aired a month later and therefore made its debut here. The oldest sketch on the album, Eric Idle's "Radio Quiz Game", dates back to ''I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again'' where it was performed by Graeme Garden - Idle having subsequently performed the sketch himself on two editions of ''Do Not Adjust Your Set''. ...

Monty Python
Monty Python (also collectively known as the Pythons) were a British comedy troupe who created the sketch comedy television show '' Monty Python's Flying Circus'', which first aired on the BBC in 1969. Forty-five episodes were made over four series. The Python phenomenon developed from the television series into something larger in scope and influence, including touring stage shows, films, albums, books and musicals. The Pythons' influence on comedy has been compared to the Beatles' influence on music. Regarded as an enduring icon of 1970s pop culture, their sketch show has been referred to as being "an important moment in the evolution of television comedy". Broadcast by the BBC between 1969 and 1974, ''Monty Python's Flying Circus'' was conceived, written and performed by its members Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. Loosely structured as a sketch show, but with an innovative stream-of-consciousness approach aided by Gil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Another Monty Python Record
''Another Monty Python Record'' is the second album produced by the Monty Python comedy group, released in 1971. Dissatisfied with their monaural BBC debut album released the previous year, the group took full control of the follow-up, which would be the first release of a six-album deal with Charisma Records in the UK. Most of the material is from the second BBC series of ''Monty Python's Flying Circus'', with a few newly written pieces. One track, "Stake Your Claim", is an English-language version of a sketch from the team's first German episode. Background The production, with its innovative use of stereo and sound effects, was handled by Terry Jones and Michael Palin and proved a technical challenge. According to Jones: "We had this horrendous time because we were recording in this rather hippy recording studio. We were very keen to use the stereo and everything, but what we hadn't realised was that the guy who was doing the recording, who I think was out of his head mos ...
