RANDB 047LP
|
2019 release. Like many other bands during the period 1966-68, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band produced some of their best and most innovative work for the BBC. Here are 16 previously-unrelated and high-quality studio tracks which Viv Stanshall accurately described as "insane spewings of our collective genius." Fellow writer Neil Innes contributes tracks never heard elsewhere such as the legendary Brain Opera. On this LP, the Bonzos' journey from warped jazz to rock n' roll that critiques and celebrates contemporary pop culture, through dangerous trousers, an electric shirt collar solo, and a protest song about dry cleaners. Full sleeve notes feature the return of Apollo C. Vermouth. Mmmm, that's nice.

Originally issued in 1967. "The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (also known as The Bonzo Dog Band, The Bonzo Dog Dada Band and, colloquially, as The Bonzos) are a band created by a group of British art-school denizens of the 1960s. Moving over to Liberty Records, the Bonzos released their first album, Gorilla, that included 'Jazz, Delicious Hot, Disgusting Cold' which savagely parodied their early 'trad' jazz roots and featured some of the most deliberately inept jazz playing ever recorded. The record company only allowed two hours of studio time per track, so it was completed in a single take to allow for the far more complex 'The Intro and the Outro' in which every member of the band was introduced and played a solo, starting with genuine band members. This is great!"
