The Hastily Cobbled Together For A Fast Buck Album
''Hastily Cobbled Together for a Fast Buck'' is the name of a bootleg of an unreleased album by Monty Python, mostly made up of outtakes from the 1980 sessions for their ''Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album, Contractual Obligation Album''. The album was compiled by producer Andre Jacquemin in 1987 but pulled from release in favour of a compilation of previously released material, ''The Final Rip Off''. As with material that made the final cut of the ''Contractual Obligation Album'', the outtakes include re-recordings of material which predates Monty Python. “Bunn, Wackett, Buzzard, Stubble and Boot”, the title of which was among the many rejected suggestions for the name of ''Monty Python’s Flying Circus'', dates back to John Cleese’s college days. “Adventure” originates from ''The Frost Report'', while ''At Last The 1948 Show'' was plundered for “Freelance Undertaker” and “Memory Training”, the latter featuring a newly written coda containing a list o ...

Album
An album is a collection of audio recordings issued on compact disc (CD), vinyl, audio tape, or another medium such as digital distribution. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records collected in a bound book resembling a photograph album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl long-playing (LP) records played at rpm. The album was the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption from the mid-1960s to the early 21st century, a period known as the album era. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though album sales in the 21st-century have mostly focused on CD and MP3 formats. The 8-track tape was the first tape format widely used alongside vinyl from 1965 until being phased out by 1983 and was gradually supplanted by the cassette tape during the 1970s and early 1980s; the popularity of the cassette reached its peak during the late 1980s, sharply declined during the 1990s and had largely disappeared ...

Rutland Weekend Television
''Rutland Weekend Television'' (''RWT'') was a television sketch show on BBC2, written by Eric Idle with music by Neil Innes. Two series were broadcast, the first consisting of six episodes in 1975, and the second series of seven episodes in 1976. A Christmas special was broadcast on Boxing Day 1975. It was Idle's first television project after ''Monty Python's Flying Circus'', which had ended the previous year, and was the catalyst for The Rutles. ''Rutland Weekend Television'' or ''RWT'' ostensibly centred on "Britain's smallest television network", situated in England's smallest (and mainly rural) county, Rutland. Rutland had lost its independence in April 1974 so, supposedly, there were tax advantages to broadcasting from somewhere that did not legally exist. This framework allowed for a range of sketches and material to be presented, all as part of the fictional network's hosted programming. Nevertheless, even this very loose concept was frequently ignored and materia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Crimson Permanent Assurance
''The Crimson Permanent Assurance'' is a 1983 British swashbuckling comedy short film that plays as the beginning of the feature-length motion picture '' Monty Python's The Meaning of Life''. Having originally conceived the story as a six-minute animated sequence in ''Monty Python's The Meaning of Life'', intended for placement at the end of Part V, Terry Gilliam convinced the other members of Monty Python to allow him to produce and direct it as a live action piece instead. According to Gilliam, the film's rhythm, length, and style of cinematography made it a poor fit as a scene in the larger movie, so it was presented as a supplementary short ahead of the film. It was a common practice in British cinemas to show an unrelated short feature before the main movie, a holdover from the older practice of showing a full-length "B" movie ahead of the main feature. By the mid-1970s the short features were of poorer quality (often Public Information Films), or simply banal travelogues ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
