The first two records by Monty Python's Flying Circus were merely audio recreations of some of the most popular sketches from their TV series, with some extraneous linking material. There's still some re-purposed television material on 1972's MONTY PYTHON'S PREVIOUS RECORD--including the much-beloved "Argument Clinic" and "Dennis Moore" sketches--but, for the first time, the troupe wrote and recorded some all-new original material just for the album. As Monty Python was the first major British-comedy team without previous experience in radio or other audio-only forms of comedy, one would think that this would be a difficult transition. However, the new material on the album is uniformly excellent, and parts of the record quickly became fan favorites. In particular, John Cleese's song "Eric the Half a Bee," with its brilliantly twisting semi-philosophical lyrics and jaunty tune, and Michael Palin's "We Love the Yangtse," a precursor to his post-Python work as a travel-show host, are among the best songs the troupe ever did. An excellent mix of new material and old favorites, MONTY PYTHON'S PREVIOUS RECORD was the team's first great comedy album.
