4.0 out of 5 stars Oh, if only... 15 Mar 2008
By Alister
Format:Audio CD
I've always enjoyed this album and, at least, they were being honest about what it was.

Sadly, this latest issue is still missing the track we'd all like to hear in CD-quality, 'A Farewell To John Denver'. For legal resons this was dropped after the first run of vinyl-pressings and it seems *most* unlikely it will ever see the official light-of-day again. (Actually, let me face up to the fact: we shall *not* be hearing it again.)

If you enjoy Python for their songs, this is the album for you (after you've bought 'Monty Python Sings'), as it has many.

So, maybe not the album to buy if you're venturing into MP for the first time but certainly worthy of a place in your collection at some point. If you already have it on CD I'd maybe not buy this latest issue unless you're a completist, as the bonus tracks tend to be diluting rather than enhancing. On the other hand, if you haven't already got it on CD, then this version *is* the one to go for.

3.0 out of 5 stars Contractually Obligated 8 Dec 2009
By J. Morgan
Format:MP3 Download
I bought this back in 1980 on vinyl. It was funny then and it's still funny now. A mixture of silly songs and quick sketches. I'm a fan of Python and maybe some non fans might not think this is worth the effort, but hey give it a try you might be pleasantly surprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not only fot the fans 15 Sep 2008
By Nikica Gilic TOP 500 REVIEWER TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
Admittedly, not all the tracks are equally hillarious, but it's the same with MP's (Monthy Python's) TV series and films... This album works as an album;
the track with Palin's "Bishop" doing a dumb radio commercial is brilliant, John Cleese is usually wonderfull as a rabid advertiser and the song... Well, let me tell you there are some quit funny, zany (and sometimes not quite politically correct, God bless them!) songs here -
"I like Chinese", "Never be rude to an Arab", "Medical Love Song", "Finland", "I'm so worried"...
