At the young of age of teen something I experienced a "Bonzo" moment,this made me jump up, run outside and sell my ruptered spleen to a passing gypsy.Ever since, I have lived in my wardrobe hoping one day to become a pygmy, and I do believe it's happening, yours dimimishingly, MJM

Can't really say anything more, but I will. I was introduced to them through 'Ali Baba's Camel', but everything else is brilliant as well. I'm a bit worried about listening to it in public because it makes me laugh so much. In particular: 'Look out, there's a Monster coming', 'Trouser Press' and the wonderful 'My brother makes the noises for the Talkies'. Very talented indeed. & 'Hello Mabel'. In fact, every track is superb.

I got into the Bonzos following a recommendation by my Dada to watch a documentary by John Peel about the band's lives and works. That's how it started. Then I bought the "Bestiality" Best Of Album and have been hooked since. You don't know what's coming next with this compilation - some tracks are comical and amusing, others satirical rippings of various musical genres.... I think. It is quite late after all! There are some whistlable tunes here and you'll be singing some strange lyrics to yourself ... Read More
