THE HISTORY OF THE BONZOS is a 2-disk album with 35 tracks recorded between 1967 and 1972 by The Bonzo Dog Band and the solo projects of its members, compiled by Andrew Lauder (who was head of Liberty/UA's A&R). It was released in 1974. The Bonzo Dog Band were the foremost comedy rock group of England, giving the world the likes the Viv Stanshall (who also introduced the instruments on the original "Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield), Neil Innes (who was part of the Rutles) and Roger Ruskin Spear. This collection has long been praised as a definitive collection of the best of the group, assembled shortly after their final agreement to part ways forever. The Beat Goes On CD reissue, however, is deeply flawed, and that despite retaining the original booklet and liner notes. Almost every track on disc one loses a fragment of its fade-out, while "Noises From The Leg," "Narcissus," and (on disc two) "Rhinocratic Oaths" not only appear in the same inadvertently clipped format, they also lose their very punch lines. And, while The Bonzos never relied purely on humor for their impact, it does still help to hear it. This 35-song double CD contains almost all of the highlights of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, later just Bonzo Dog Band. This is a must for British humor aficionados, and for anyone who likes The Beatles or Kinks-esque fusion of Tin Pan Alley and rock 'n' roll. The Bonzos never made a lot of money, but they were highly influential and omnipresent in their day. The album kicks off with "The Intro and the Outro", a very funny take-off on jazz band riffing as the band is introduced; in this case the introductions are interminable as they get sillier and sillier, most memorably "and looking very relaxed, Adolf Hitler on vibes" and "Count Basie Orchestra on triangle *Ding!* "Sport" takes on the classic theme of the sensitive boy who's no good at sports, mocking the jock aesthetic, as does "Mr. Apollo". Cartoony 20s & 30s music is represented with the delightful tracks "Hello Mabel", "Jollity Farm", "Mr. Slater's Parrot" and "Mickey's Son And Daughter". "My Pink Half Of The Drainpipe" lampoons insufferably boring neighbors. "Hunting Tigers Out In Indiah" is a novelty song mocking Kipling-esque celebrations of British colonialism. They bite. They scratch. They make an awful fuss. It's no use stroking them and saying puss puss puss. "I'm The Urban Spaceman" is the Bonzos' one hit, produced by Paul McCartney under a pseudonym, a buoyant pop critique of modern hyper-cool. Occasionally the Bonzos rock out to great effect, as with "Tent", which has almost a proto-Ramones sound combined with 50s-era wailing sax; "We Are Normal", one of the most compelling and driving rock themes of all time, once it gets going, though it's slow to start and quick to peter out, which is just as well - it's a quick intense trip with the rallying cry "We are normal and we want our freedom!"; and "Trouser Press". Found that it is great fun to be in a bar and discover an Englishman who knows "Trouser Press" and sing it with him, culminating with "Do it all you can; it's much better than A PRE-FABRICATED CONCRETE COAL BUNKER!" at the top of your lungs. "Big Shot" is a wonderful send-up of 50s noir film narration. "Bad Blood" does the same with a Western theme. And "Rhinocratic Oaths" features a monologue with a few short whimsical tales backed with one of the most haunting, catchy, memorable instrumental themes ever written. Now.....BUY IT!
