The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:Album infobox

The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief was the fourth album by the Monty Python comedy group, released in 1973. It is particularly noted for the fact that the original release on Charisma Records had two parallel grooves on side two, so that different material would be played depending on where the stylus was put down on the record's surface. For this reason it is sometimes referred to as a "three-sided" record. The cutting was carried out by George "Porky" Peckham.

This was one of the first Python albums to contain material written exclusively for the album and not based on previous TV material. It also has no "introduction to the album" piece that was typical of the previous albums.
