"By jingo, it's English rubbish!" Hot jazz revival tunes by the three best-known outfits of 1960s Britain, some more gloriously art-school-damaged than others. Bonzo completists will note that two of their songs, "My Brother Makes the Noises for the Talkies" and "Alley Oop", are slightly different than the versions that have been appearing on Bonzo reissues since the 1990s ("My Brother" has a longer opening which quotes the Laurel & Hardy signature tune, and "Alley Oop" here is missing the audience screams that are included in reissue versions).
