Customer Reviews

Stanshall's best record
After the Bonzos Stanshall's career stuttered from disc to disc .
Sometimes - as with " Men Opening Umbrellas Ahead " - you marvel that the disc ever made to the market . Brilliant in parts but thrown away .
Teddy Boys Don't Knit shows what he could do with a great producer and great musical support .
The disc has its downbeat side " Calypso to Collapso " but features some truly original masterpieces , Slave Valse , for example , which are quite ignored in comparison with the Bonzo hits .
If only he could have done more like this . He was truly inimitable

Brilliantly bonkers
If you're a fan of the Bonzo Dog Band......or even if you're not - by this damn album, it's brilliant!
Just listen to the Biwilderbeeste, Ginger geezer, Cracks are showing and....well, all of them. On first listen, they'll just sound like some strange old guy singing nonsense but all the songs have got beutiful messages hidden in them.
Accommpanied by a clutch of great musicians (Richard Thompson for example), your CD collection is worse off for not having it!
