Tracks, please

"Judging the material itself, I'd give this album five stars. I agree that it's Monty Python at the height of their powers. But the CD I have has exactly two tracks on it: Track 1 represents Side A of the original LP; Track 2 represents Side B. This is very annoying because, unless you have a good fast forward button on your CD player, you have to listen to an entire side just to hear one bit. How hard would it have been to include tracks?"
My Kids Love This

"I'm confused over the review stating your kids will not laugh...My 10 and 11 year-olds howl whenever they hear this recording. The Death of Mary, Queen of Scots is their favorite. But they play this cd over and over and laugh uncontrollably every time. There are classic Python routines on this cd, just like all of their recordings. Plus, they round them out nicely with material unique to the recordings, so it is not just rehashing TV material.This cd was funny 30 years ago when it was an LP, and it's still funny today."
Oh! My brain hurts!

"One of Python's best, funny from beginning to end. There are classics here like The Spanish Inquisition that runs throughout the CD, The Death of Mary Queen of Scots, Be a Great Actor, Gumby Theater and one of my favorites, The Architects. The mock documentary on the Piranha Brothers, Doug and Dinsdale is one of the longest bits Python has done and is hilarious. Some of the ten second connectors are as funny as the skits surrounding them. This was Monty Python at their gloriously deranged peak."
