Finally, the series is complete. This was the most difficult to put together, and maybe the tracklist doesn't look all that interesting, but IMO, this is the best of the bunch. What surprises me is how good the flow of this set is, and the quality of work throughout. "Sir Henry At Ndidi's Kraal" is edited to music portions only. All in all, it's pretty good and I hope you agree. As with the other parts, each track is tagged with its original cover or single label. The last two tracks are not errors: they end the collection by pulling it around full circle.

Sandy says: thanks for the Bonzos - superb collection. Keep up the good work! All very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteJust an observation, but the anthology doesn't include anything by "Three Bonzos and a Piano" who released two albums 'Bum Notes' and 'Hair of the Dog'.
ReplyDeleteQuadruple wows!!!! Thanks for a fantastic Bonzos feat...great work , man! Saw them live in 1969, The Jazz and Blues Festival in Plumpton..unforgettable memory!
ReplyDeleteStuffy from Sweden
Thank you. I am glad to have this in my collection.
ReplyDeleteBlank Frank - truly an impressive collection. Been a fan of these lunatics since 1972 - really happy to add this series to my library.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
Peace, 25thBeatle
Many thanks! The careful curation is exactly what I needed in the case of this band.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these. Truly a labour of love and very much appreciated here. Inspired!
ReplyDeleteHigh Voltage Dogma!
ReplyDeleteThere is enough Bonzo current in this post to warrant a 20 Amp breaker be installed in the canyons of your electrical panel. CLICK! It is about polarity! Although this band is consistently arcing back and forth between alternating and direct-straight(-) and direct-reverse(+) currents...the welding is always a slag-free perfect bead with no undercut/no inclusions...AND, maximum penetration. Thank you, BlankFrank! You have proven that archiving is entirely structural and that this band has always deserved your high standards of excellence. Beautiful job!

Thanks for working your way through the all of the original releases and creating this overview. Appreciate your efforts!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Thanks for putting together this big compilation. I only really knew The Rutles material before and I'm enjoying hearing all the additional items you've collected here.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
James
Kind of sad, but also nice, too, that Neil Innes got a mention in the Grammy Awards "In Memoriam" segment last night, right after Peter Tork.
ReplyDeleteHere is a new song from Barry and Womb Direction that just came out with NI last appearance https://youtu.be/6ST8RZjY3fE
ReplyDeleteI was in England when "Springtime for Hitler in Germany" was released as a protest against rising right-wing nationalism in the country. Thanks for this exhaustive collection. I played the record for friends other day as relief from the impeachment of America's fuhrer (sic). The end was a bit scarier than I remembered.
ReplyDeleteIt's "Wom Direction," btw. "Womb Direction" is a whole 'nother route entirely. :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this. VERY,VERY much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for these. I'm still having trouble processing Neil's passing and there are a few bits in here that I've been looking for, like forever! Never have I loved a band more than this.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this, BlankFrank. Do you have the complete Off the Record album? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
ReplyDeleteWow, just amazing. Your work on this and the other volumes is very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHoly, really, the only word for it. This is holy work you have done. Many, many thanks.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work, I became a fan after hearing the equestrian statue in 1967 (I was 17) and seeing Neil Innes in Melbourne Australia in early 2000, or was it in the 90's?
