Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originating as a series of spoken-word pieces recorded for John Peel's radio show, this deeply eccentric album introduces the chaotic, aristocratic world of Sir Henry Rawlinson. The former eccentric frontman of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band delivers a masterclass in surreal British satire and rapid-fire linguistic acrobatics.
