Monty Python’s Final Rip-off

Monty Python’s Final Rip-off (1988)
The Final Rip Off is a compilation double album (4 vinyl sides). It was the team’s first release on Virgin Records, after the label acquired the rights to their back catalogue previously released on Charisma.

The set contains material from those six albums, but not from the Life of Brian or Meaning of Life soundtracks, which were released on other labels. Michael Palin added some new linking material while all the songs were remixed by producer Andre Jacquemin including one, “Henry Kissinger“, which featured a previously unreleased section.

The bulk of the Final Rip Off has been derived from Another Monty Python Record and Monty Python’s Previous Record which consist primarily of sketches from the four series of their groundbreaking BBC-TV program, Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

Likewise, there are copious inclusions from their post-telly recordings Matching Tie and Handkerchief and Monty Python’s Contractual Obligation Album. As this (or really any Python platter) demonstrates, the collective and respective talents of writer/actors Michael Palin, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Terry Gilliam are as aurally unequaled as they are visually incomparable. Even as personalities and egos clashed behind the scenes, the results were uniformly inspired; this remains true of Palin’s newly recorded “Introduction” and a few other brief links as well.

Weirdly, the selections from Another Monty Python Record and Live at Drury Lane were mixed from stereo into mono. The cover art, with its graphic image of guts spilling through slits in a sheet, was illustrated by Les Edwards.

SIDE ONE

  • 01 Introduction :48 Intro
  • Narrator Michael Palin
    Studioman Terry Jones

    Narrator The place is England. The year is 787.

    Studioman A.D.?

    Narrator Of course it’s A.D. You don’t have to say it’s A.D. I mean, they didn’t have A.D. written on Letts Schoolboy’s Diary, I mean no one is going to say on new years eve “Welcome to 1988 A.D.” It’s 787.

    Studioman An aeroplane?

    Narrator No, it’s not an aeroplane, it’s 787, the year!

    Studioman B.C. then?

    Narrator No, it’s not likely to be B.C. anyway. Nothing happened in 787 B.C. Well, not in England. Ah, all right, in Egypt…

    Studioman In Sumeria, then?

    Narrator …in Sumeria, yes absolutely, but I didn’t say “The place is Sumeria. The year is..”

    (Holy Grail “Arthur’s Theme” starts)

    Hang on, hang on, wait, look, we gotta sort this out. This is background, it’s important material, and it’s new, it’s a totally new link, they won’t understand a word of it, you know, if you fade me out now.

    Terry Jones Well, that’s about it, really. The film ends mainly visually.
