Monty Python / Total Rubbish: The Complete Collection box set

Monty Python’s Total Rubbish is a new nine-LP box set due to be released on the eve of the comic group’s apparently career-ending London live dates in July 2014.

The box set will feature all nine of Monty Python’s UK albums: Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Another Monty Python Record, Monty Python’s Previous Record, Matching Tie and Handkerchief, Live at Drury Lane, Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Monty Python’s Contractual Obligation Album and The Meaning Of Life and will come with a bonus seven-inch single of their 1974 flexi-disc Monty Python’s Tiny Black Round Thing.

The set will also be available as a nine-CD edition, which also comes with the seven-inch vinyl record.

The albums were cut with an all analogue signal path from the original 1/4″ master tapes, where available. Both editions also contain a casebound book with new liner notes with a foreword by Michael Palin, original Monty Python artwork, archive photos and an original Terry Gilliam-designed full colour slipcase.

At the same time, for a more modest budget, comes the 25th anniversary deluxe reissue of Monty Python Sings (Again). This features songs and ditties from across their recording and film career, and now includes six previously unavailable tracks; three never before released songs from the Python archives and three new recordings by Eric Idle. The 2CD deluxe edition is an eight-panel digi-pack (designed by – who else – Terry Gilliam) and includes a bonus disc of Monty Python’s Flying Circus (their live debut album from 1970) and a 32-page booklet with lyrics and track-by-track notes.

Monty Python’s Total Rubbish: The Complete Collection is released on 30 June 2014 and Monty Python Sings (Again) is out on 9 June.
