"Contractually... Missing!"

(4 out of 5 stars)
"Again...a re-issue without "NEW" liner notes and no "NEW" artwork by Terry Gilliam! The Notes are from "The Monty Python Encyclopedia"(1999),and the artwork is someone's cut and paste job of old Gilliam artwork.
Missing tracks include..."A Farewell To John Denver"( Still illegal to reproduce,apparently.),and the track that replaced it in the U.K.,which was Terry Jones' "Omitted On Legal Advice".Also the exteneded versions of "Medical Love Song" & "Henry Kissinger" ( As heard on "The Final Rip-Off" ) are missing.
This album,over-all,is a good mix of sketches and musical comedy. The Bonus material is less than exciting. The Terry Jones & Graham Chapman interview is boring. It sounds like they were awoken and told to be funny,just no energy what-so-ever. "Medical Love Song" and "I'm So Worried" DEMOS are lonnnng,and not really absolutely necessary to have.
Python fans also know there is at least 20 additional tracks from these sessions floating around as a bootleg. So this C.D. is quite spotty. I'd purchase it,only if you don't yet have it."
