Who'da thought, 40 year ago...

... we'd all be sittin' around talkin' about a new Monty Python record... sort of.

It's actually a re-issue. But it's the kind of re-issue that includes new and/or never before released tracks. We love it when that happens, don't we fellow record lovers? Monty Python Sings (Again) is the title of the re-issue. It's a re-issue of, well, Monty Python Sings, the 1989 compilation album which gathered not quite all of Monty's musical cuts.

The new Monty Python cover features multiple rows of teeth
and tongue, representing the "again" aspect of the album.

Monty Python's previous Sings album cover, featuring one set of lips,
one set of teeth, no kangaroos, and a solitary tongue.

Also lacking the word "again."

Monty Python Sings (again) is also available in a Deluxe 2-CD Edition (still waiting on news of a vinyl release). The deluxe set contains the full Monty Python Sings (again) tracklist shown above as well as a second disc containing -- for the first time on Virgin Records -- Monty Python's Flying Circus, the original 1970 BBC soundtrack once thought unavailable on CD then released as an audiobook and then re-released as a proper CD. Now it can be yours if you buy the Deluxe 2-CD Edition of Monty Python Sings (again)!







And that's not all!

Also available is a new 12-inch vinyl single containing a new "Unofficial England Football Anthem" -version of Always Look On The Bright Side of Life, re-sung, with some slight editing, by its composer, Eric Idle. This version of ALOTBSOL does not appear on Monty Python Sings (Again). Side two of the 45 is a spoken word sketch featuring Michael Palin in An Apology From Bernard, a beleaguered record company executive. This too features not on the new LP. The package also comes with a set of six stickers, one featuring each Python in association foosball uniform. Follow this link if you are the least bit interested in purchasing this new Python record... I know I am...


More to come. You can bet on that. (again.)
