Doo-Dah For Now - The Nearly complete Bonzo Dog Band (2011 Home Made Compilation)

(11CD)

The Bonzo Dog (Doo Dah) Band. Legends of British musical comedy from the 1960s.
Wonderful weirdness to brighten any day. Featuring Vivian Stanshall (who performed
"Death Cab For Cutie" with the band in the Beatles film Magical Mystery Tour), as
well as Neil Innes (of Monty Python films, The Rutles, Rutland Weekend Television
and The Innes Book of Records) and Roger Ruskin-Spear and his Kinetic Wardrobe.

Recently remastered (2007) in gorgeous FLAC, here is the entire Bonzo discography,
plus solo material and rarities from Vivian, Neil and company.

Everything always has to come eventually to some sort of end so I thought it to be
nice to finish, for the time being, my previous Bonzo Dog Band / Vivian Stanshall /
Neil Innes uploads with a nice collection in the form of a home-made box-set-like
overview, comprising nearly every available recording by the Bonzo Dog Band that's
currently available and includes interesting nice-to-have tracks released by
former-members.

This 'Doo-Dah For Now' project consists of 11 CD's of which eight are filled with
recordings by the Bonzo Dog Band and three with solo-recordings by former members.
Within the directory of each volume is a txt file with liner-notes including
original release info, some artwork, running times and resources for all tracks.

Although some compilations in this collection (for instance 'Bonzo Dog Band - The
BBC Recordings' and 'Vivian Stanshall - Collected Rarities') were uploaded on
Demonoid before, some tracks were altered where necessary (repaired or otherwise
adjusted) with the main aim to present the songs in this collection as listenable
and complete as possible without doing any harm to the integrity of the original
recordings. Contents could also be changed, some compilations are expanded, some
have tracks deleted due to lack of space or because new information was found. For
some songs lossless sources could not be found, these are in the testfiles
indicated with '*'.

Global Overview:

CD-01 Gorilla & The Doughnut In Granny's Greenhouse - 1:16:21
The first two albums with the tracks sourced from the 2007 stereo remasters.
Originally intended for this collection as two volumes including vinyl rips of the
original mono albums. As these were impossible to find this idea was abandoned.

CD-02 Tadpoles & Keynsham - 1:13:50
Tracks mostly sourced from the 2007 stereo remasters. Both albums were originally
released in stereo only but with some differences between the UK and US releases.
'The Monster Mash' is a slightly different ending version taken from the original
US vinyl release, while 'Ali-Baba's Camel' (missing a few beats of the intro on the
2007 remaster) has the complete intro restored.


CD-03 Outtakes, Rarities & B-sides - 1:21:07
Home made compilation combining the Parlophone singles in stereo, outtakes from
recording sessions, rare song versions, single B-sides and more.

CD-04 Let's Make Up And Be Friendly (& some more Rarities) - 1:17:44
Comprising the final Bonzo Dog Band album 'Let's Make Up And Be Friendly', two
different-ending versions of 'Rusty (Champion Thrust)', the 1987 reunion single
released in 1992 (including the demo) and some mono releases.

CD-05 Look At Me I'm Wonderful (TV Performances) - 1:22:40
Revised version with the audio of the recently surfaced Bellevue Amsterdam TV
performance added (including a rare rendition of 'Blue Suede Shoes') with 'Death
Cab For Cutie' recording from the Magical Mystery Tour film moved to CD03 and the
three bonus tracks moved to CD06.

CD-06 BBC Radio Recordings Volume 1 - 1:17:45
New compilation only including the most listenable recordings from BBC radio shows
like 'Top Gear' and 'Saturday Club'.

CD-07 BBC Radio Recordings Volume 2 / Jazz Bilzen 1969 - 1:20:09
New compilation again omitting the poor quality BBC radio recordings but with the
audio from the Jazz Bilzen show TV-broadcast in Belgium included.

CD-08 Grunt, Howl! Grunt, Howl! (Live In Holland & USA 1969) - 1:09:34
The Paradiso Amsterdam and Fillmore East NYC shows. The first sourced from a Dutch
radio broadcast and the second from an audience recording.

CD-09 Vivian Stanshall - Collected Rarities Volume 1 - 1:22:31
CD-10 Vivian Stanshall - Collected Rarities Volume 2 - 1:27:20
Combines rare solo-singles, collaborations, guest appearances
and other hard-to-find recordings from his sometimes erratic solo-career. The newly
compiled second volume has more rarities, songs from the 'Sir Henry At Rawlinson
End' album and some enjoyable live recordings from one of the last great English
eccentrics. At the end of this volume (as bonus tracks) the songs which he co-wrote
with Steve Winwood.

CD-11 The Other Dogs - Collected Rarities - 1:20:52
More rarities from the solo ventures of former-Bonzo Dog Band members Neil Innes,
Roger Ruskin Spear and 'Legs' Larry Smith. This compilation combines hard-to-find
songs, singles, collaborations, guest appearances and more.
