Neil
Innes is one of the most important figures in British musical comedy.
He has the rare ability of a side-splitting satirist who can also
write perfectly straightforward, catchy pop songs. Neil
originally found fame in the mid 1960s with The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah
Band.
After the demise of the Bonzos, he went on to work with, among
others, Eric Idle and Monty Python. This
CD includes two of his best loved solo albums, released together on one
CD for the first time.
The 8 page booklet features extensive liner notes and rare
photographs. ‘Taking
Off’ was originally released in 1977 and is a collection of songs
ranging from the corny country of ‘Crystal Balls’, to the sugar
coated offering of ‘La Vie En Rose’. In between we have songs about
love, death, sex, murder, fantastic places, God and religion. ‘The Innes Book of Records’ was originally released in 1979. Among other great tunes, it contains the very lovely instrumental ‘Theme’, plus tales of teenage love in ‘Kenny and Liza’, and married life in ‘Love is Getting Deeper’. HUX061
