Ever wondered where the Bonzos got some of their crazy songs? Well this great CD answers all the questions! Featuring the original 1920's and 1930's recordings that were covered by the band here you can find the original wild versions of My Brother Makes The Noises For the Talkies, Ali Baba's Camel, Hunting Tigers Out In India (Yah), Button Up Your Overcoat, Mickey's Son and Daughter, Jollity Farm and more! Many of these recordings have never been re-issued since the days of the Gramophone! The CD also includes tunes the Bonzos performed but never recorded, songs they should have recorded (such as the ludicrous Cave Of Omar Khayyam and the follow up to Jollity Farm - Misery Farm!) Detailed sleeve notes, original sheet music artwork and liner notes by Legs Larry Smith himself! Top Hole!
