Monty Python – Another Monty Python Record Philips Records Cat# 6369 913 1972 Australian release Cover is in very good condition, light partial vinyl ring showing on the front and the matt white card rear looks a bit grubby New inner plastic sleeve Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected carefully using a white halogen light source I can see only a couple of very light scratches or marks on each side. I then played the ENTIRE album and there are no significant issues with surface noise or click/pops – very listenable! Tracks: Side 1, Side 2
(there is no individual skit listing) but to give the listener an idea of the craziness on this album, it begins with apologies for the incorrect album cover, then apologies for incorrect album content, then in come the Spanish Inquisition, more craziness as pots and pans are thrown around, some classical music which has been adapted for radio by banging a nail through it, interview with a person who does (doesn’t) contradict people, “then the old ladies are thrown into the fiords…” moves on to architect meetings discussing building designs which unfortunately are actually slaughterhouses for humans (the tenants pass through the rotating blades), apparently a misunderstanding by the architect about the attitude of the landlords towards the tenants – John Cleese is the narrator and goes on and on about their refusal to accept his building design and then begs to be admitted into the Mason’s. Suddenly it is back to the Spanish Inquisition …. (nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition) then there is the violinist who keeps breaking his violin during a concert performance ….and plenty more
Don’t be fooled by the last few seconds on Side A, it sounds like the record has been scratched – it is part of the comedy skit, do not adjust your turntable!
Very “dark, black” comedy, and funny as hell if you are a Pythoness fan. These guys blew apart the staid, “stiff upper lip” of English society and often poked fun at the establishment and traditional way of English society. Sort of punk rockers in the world of comedy, giving “the finger” to the British establishment.
