Monty Python's Previous Record

Amazon.com
The Python troupe is in fine form on this disc, recorded in 1972, before the TV series ground them all down a bit and the movies really took hold of their attention. Every sketch on Previous Record is splendidly well-written, particularly Eric Idle's "Wine List" and "The 1972 Eclipse of the Sun"--but so much care is taken throughout, it's almost misleading to pick out just a few. A lot of the material on Previous Record consists of sound-only versions of sketches from the TV show. Some of these work better than others--the worst can be a bit static--but it's impossible to avoid "seeing" John Cleese and Graham Chapman dressed as the Pepperpots, or Cleese's Dennis Moore, the vacillating 18th-century bandit. Previous Record displays Python's characteristic brand of intellectual silliness and shows the influential comedy group in full flood. --Michael Gerber

"Previously Re-Leased Materials!".......2007-05-07

Yes...not quite as "NEW",as they would have you believe! The "NEW" liner notes,are reprints from 1999's "Monty Python Encyclopedia" ( Which is more opinion than fact.).The same goes for the "NEW" Terry Gilliam artwork,that is nothing more than someone re-arranging his old artwork. There was also no attempt made to reproduce the original Vinyl version insert with Liner notes,and a selection of faux album releases.

That said...

This IS one of Python's funnier albums. The stream of sub-conciousness surrealism is fully intact. The Bonus tracks seem to be largerly from this era and include versions of several television sketches.(i.e."Blood Devestation Death War & Horror"(mislabelled here),"Mortuary Visit","Flying Fox Of the Yard"( The real ending to "Argument Sketch"),and "Is There?"). "Teach Yourself Heath" is from a hard to find "Flexi-Disc" released in magazines,"The Book Ad","Big Red Bowl","Pepperpots (Part 2)"and "Pellegra" are a series of rare Radio Ads for the release of "Monty Python's Big Red Book".

This C.D.,overlooking the so-called "NEW" liner notes and artwork ,IS worth re-purchasing!

Yes, this CD!.......2006-03-09

While not as good as, say, "Another Monty Python CD," this one definitely amuses. "Argument Clinic," "1972 Eclipse of the Sun," "Dennis Moore," and the various radio quiz-game segments are hilarious. "The Brontasaurus Sketch" will either annoy or delight you, and doesn't hold up well under repeated listenings, nor does the fairy tale bit at the end. However, if you're a Python fan, you'll want this CD, and if you're not, you should get it anyway, because the good parts definitely outway the bad parts.

Help for SOLOTK.......2004-10-10

That is not classical music, but the theme song for the 1950's British TV series "The Adventures of Robin Hood", which starred Richard Greene. "Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen.
Robin Hood, Robin Hodd, with his band of men. Feared by the bad, loved by the good...Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood." Those are the original lyrics. I grew up in the '50's wathching that show with my dad. A fair number of those shows are in a boxed VHS set.

Help!!!!.......2004-02-10

Does anyone out there at all, know the name of the classical music playing in the background of the Dennis Moore skit? The music that is playing, as the Dennis Moore skit starts, and just before the announcer says "England , 1747"

All help much appreciated

Very Strong Python Outing.......2003-08-17

I very much enjoyed this album. From the strange cover to the last bits of the fairy tale, it is a well-done comedy album.

The best things about Monty Python's albums is that you can watch all the movies, see all the episodes of the Flying Circus, and even see the two German episodes of Fliegender Zirkus, and you'll still find new stuff on these records which the boys would write specifically for record. (How else can you do Alistair Cooke being attacked by ducks?) Granted, there are some rehashed bits (thankfully re-recorded so as to become laugh-track free) including Dennis Moore, the Money Programme, and the Argument Clinic, but the funniest bits are the ones that are new-all-new.

Listen to "What Do You [Toot!]," a game show where the ["Beethoven's Fifth"] contestant competes against the contestant with the ["Clementine"] buzzer to win [cha-ching!] and [hurrah!]. Marvel at the sound of a tiger going down to the chemist's (or, in America, drugstore.) And, of course, the often raved rage of the opening statement, "Not This Record!!!!"

In addition, the old sketches have some new bits as well. Dennis Moore is still a running gag, but in a different set of sketches. The section about old women killing budgies has a radio-appropriate ending. The Fish Liscense Sketch includes a new song, "Eric the Half-a-Bee". And, of course, Anne Elk gets shot.

The only complaint I have [if you wanna complain and nothing happens... oh bugger] is that the CD (at least my copy) is in a different order from the original LP my friend owns. It annoys the heck out of me, but still, it doesn't interfere too much.

I reccomend this to anyone who wants a good laugh and doesn't mind the f-word suddenly popping up at the very end (and in a fairy tale, no less).

not this recooaaa...........2003-02-08

I'm giving you a review of the original 73 lp and not of the cd, which apparently doesn't have all the songs as the record. Your better off with the lp, which i will make a list of the songs and ratings:

1.Emmbaressment-When I first heard this I laughed my head off. That is to say, while my head was on.
2.England 1747/Dennis Moore- I like both parts, nuff said
3.Money Prog...NOT THIS RECORDDDD!!!

I don't feel like writing any more but i will write this.

The best skits are the argument clinic,emmbaressment test,eric the bee,radio quiz game,a minute passed,the message from the sweedish prime minister,the wonderful world of sounds,how to lessons,the fairy tale,travel agency and of course the loveable character in An Elk i'm sorry, miss anne elk, which is my favorite skit on the whole citybuster album (not blockbuster).

Audible spankfest.......2007-02-01

The albums are my favorite way to experience M. Python. While the tv show is a bit dated visually, this set sounds sparklingly fresh.
On the negative side, the booklet is meager, a rehash mostly of pages from Big Red Book, etc.
Another minor annoyance is that there are no track breaks; i.e., each cd has only 3 or 4 tracks, one for each LP side. So you can't really listen to just one particular bit.
Still, this is a great way to acquire (almost) all the Python records.
