"The Hastily Cobbled Together For A Fast Buck Album"
liberated bootleg released 1981

These are the notes I recieved with this disc, a little tape hiss but decent sound:

"Despite this title, this 1981 album was never actually released to the public for a fast buck. Andre Jacquiem, who put together much of the Python's album work, cobbled this album together from material which had been recorded for other albums (mostly The Contractual Obligation Album) but not used. It was given by Michael Palin to the band Motorhead as a gift,and found its was, unofficially, into the hands of fans, but has never been sold
in stores."

Highlights for me are the "Otto" segment & "Psychopath", both written for Life Of Brian but not used... and also "Memory Training", an older skit with a new ending - Graham Chapman rattling off names of towns where Life Of Brian was banned!

Put together by André Jacquemin, the producer behind most of the Python's studio albums, this unreleased compilation features, according to the opening announcement, "things which were never good enough to get on any other Monty Python LP - but you've gone out and bought it, so who's the mug?"

The mug - or mugs - in this case would be whoever suppressed this release which has yet to see the light of day since it was compiled back in 1987.

Chances are that nobody would have heard it at all, but for Mötorhead. Said rock group happened to be doing some final mixing for their LP Rock N'Roll at Jacquemin's Brittannia Row studios. Michael Palin, who was present in the studio, contributed some improvised amusement for the end of Side 1 and, gent that he is, got Jacquemin to run off some copies of this Python out-takes compilation for their tour-bus pleasure (a harkback to the 1970s when rock groups would cruise motorways to the sound of Derek and Clive bootlegs). The contents were as follows:

I fixed a dropout in "Here Comes Another One" and removed a few loud pops and clicks throught the recording. I also rejoined the entire recording to a single .wav file with SHNTool and then retracked and cut to separate files using CDWave. I'd list out everything I did, but it was a while ago and I don't remember exactly where all the pops/clicks were.
