The group's third studio album in its original packaging is a find for fans of vinyl trickery: the B-side contains two continuous tracks, leaving the stylus a 50-50 chance at playing the track you want.

The group's third studio album in its original packaging is a find for fans of vinyl trickery: the B-side contains two continuous tracks, leaving the stylus a 50-50 chance at playing the track you want. The group reprises several skits from the show ("Bruces," "Cheese Shop") without the hindrance of playing to a live audience: in essence, it's lightning fast and witty to boot. Most of the Pythons came from a tradition of radio skit comedy, so they are not out of their depth, and are as liable to play with the conventions of recorded sound as the Firesign Theatre, their American contemporaries (though the Pythons never attempted on record anything like the concept albums of Firesign). Of the originals, "Novel Writing" (literature broadcast as sport) and "Word Association Football" (John Cleese at his densest) are winners. Ex-Bonzo Dog Band member Neil Innes also provides music on the bizarre "Background to History" in which dissertations on Medieval English farming are sung in the style of Bob Marley, Gary Glitter, and Joe Cocker. ~ Ted Mills, Rovi

Seller's Description:
Very good; Collectible. Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR & RARE----------------MONTY PYTHON: THE MATCHING TIE & HANDKERCHIEF LP.................................Album originally released in 1973. This release uses the same 3-sided pressing gimmick found on the original UK release. Sides 2 and 3, while being both physically located on the B-side, travel in parallel grooves simultaneously with each other. When playing side B, one hears different audio depending on the groove into which the needle drops..............................This is the ARISTA AL 4039 LP. The FABULOUS DIE-CUT cover AND HILARIOUS INNER SLEEVE shows a tiny cut-out clipped top corner. The record shows a couple of barely visible scratches under normal light that probably do not affect play. Check my feedback to see that I sell exactly as I describe. So bid now for this magnificent, impossible-to-find COMEDY / RECORD COLLECTIBLE.
