OST Monty Pythons Life Of Brian

Description

Limited Edition LP on Yellow Vinyl

Originally released in 1979, Monty Pythons Life Of Brian contains scenes from the film interrupted by linking sections performed by Eric Idle and Graham Chapman. The album was banned in Ireland after Father Brian DArcy highlighted how it had worked its way through a loophole in the countrys censorship laws, claiming, Anybody who buys the record and finds it funny must have something wrong with their mentality.

Pythons take on the biblical epic focuses on Brian (Graham Chapman), mistaken for the messiah by a group of easily impressed locals. All the best bits from the movie are here, including the Sermon on the Mount (as misheard by Mr. Big Nose); the Peoples Liberation Front of Judea (or is it the Judean Peoples Liberation Front?); Brians impromptu preaching (Hes making it up as he goes along!), and the concluding song, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, sung by the cast as they hang crucified. The album offers little apart from the clips from the film, except for some studio banter between a producer (Eric Idle) and a useless announcer (Graham Chapman). ~ Ted Mills
