Monty Python’s Life of Brian (Original Soundtrack)

Description

Monty Python’s Life of Brian was released in 1979 alongside the film of the same name. It contains scenes from the film interrupted by linking sections performed by Eric Idle and Graham Chapman. The album opens with a brief rendition of “Hava Nagila” on Scottish bagpipes, which had earlier been considered for use in a scene later cut from the film. In common with the controversy surrounding the film, the album was banned in Ireland after Father Brian D’Arcy highlighted how it had worked it’s way through a loophole in the country’s censorship laws, claiming “Anybody who buys the record and finds it funny must have something wrong with their mentality”. Nevertheless, the album reached No.63 in the UK Albums Chart.
