Album Notes This jam-packed two-disc set collects much of the best material from Monty Python's several album releases of the '70s and early '80s. Of course, the audio-only format of records removes the most important element of their comedy, but unsurprisingly, given that Palin, Jones, Idle, Chapman and Cleese grew up under the spell of Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers' Goon Show radio programs, they were always able to adapt their comedy style to a non-visual format. The results, whether catchy dittles like "Eric the Half-A-Bee" or radio-play-style skits like "Argument Clinic," are invariably uproarious.
Industry Reviews Included in AP's 10 Essential Comedy Albums - ...Contains all the Python you might need. It's a testament to their talent that these routines are still funny after so many years... Alternative Press (12/01/2000)
