Bonzo Dog Band | Tadpoles | Album

The Bonzo Dog Band’s third album, Tadpoles (1969), is widely regarded as a brilliant, if slightly fragmented, collection of their work. It primarily compiles songs recorded for the television show Do Not Adjust Your Set, where they served as the house band alongside future members of Monty Python. Reviewers consistently highlight the album's "brilliantly funny" mixture of musical sketches and satirical covers. It leans heavily into vaudeville, music hall parodies, and trad jazz, a slight departure from the more psychedelic-rock focus of their previous album, The Doughnut in Granny’s Greenhouse.

The original 1969 Liberty Records release of Tadpoles had a Die-cut cover revealing eyes & musical notations in the heads of band members that visually interacts as the insert is removed.
