I used to own the first 3 Monty Python albums. This was before the TV show reached the US. "Another Monty Python Record," "Monty Python's Previous Record," and "Matching Tie and Handkerchief." These were not the audio portions of the TV shows, these were taped in the recording studio. Easily the funniest things I had ever heard, and somehow having to imagine the visuals made them even funnier. Some skits were never on the TV show. They also had certain LP-only attributes: On (I think) "Monty Python's Previous Record" was the skit about the Piranha Brothers, the gangsters who used sarcasm to chilling effect. On record, that skit ended with one gangster saying "Sorry, squier, I scratched the record." And the lead-out groove didn't lead to the label, it just repeated over and over and over, so you heard "Sorry, squier, I scratched the record (click) Sorry, squier, I scratched the record (click) Sorry, squier, I scratched..." etc. "Matching Tie and Handkerchief' had an amazing attribute: 2 side twos! There were 2 parallel grooves and, depending on which one your stylus landed on, you got one of 2 entirely different programs.
