Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band: Still Barking. Limited Edition 20-Disc Definitive Box Set. As one of the UK's most beloved and unconventional bands, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band have delighted audiences for over 60 years with their distinctive blend of music, comedy, and surrealism. This comprehensive 20-disc collection, Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band: Still Barking, celebrates the complete works of the legendary Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and their impact on a generation of revered artists and comedians, from The Beatles to Monty Python. Formed in the early 1960s by art students Vivian Stanshall and Rodney Slater, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band began as a jazz ensemble parodying the music of the 1920s and 30s before evolving into a pioneering force in rock and comedy. Their satirical songs and eclectic performances quickly made them a favourite on the London underground scene. They gained national fame through appearances on the TV show "Do Not Adjust Your Set," which also featured future members of Monty Python. Known for their hit "I'm the Urban Spaceman," produced by Paul McCartney under the pseudonym Apollo C. Vermouth, the Bonzos left an indelible mark on the British music and comedy landscape. Seven years in the making and put together with band's full co-operation, 'Still Barking' includes: 17 CDs documenting a spectacularly entertaining career featuring: Stereo versions of all of the band's original albums, carefully remastered to capture their idiosyncratic charm.
