Hastily Cobbled Together For A Fast Buck

Not too long ago, I mentioned Monty Python, specifically Holy Grail. Today I speak of their recorded works, arguably just as good as the films or TV show. Monty Python's Hastily Cobbled Together For A Fast Buck Album is a pretty good lesson in irony, given it was released years after its recording and no money was ever made from it. It was composed mostly of B-sides from older albums, and has never been released. Eventually, it fell into obscurity, until Python member Michael Palin gave it to the band Motörhead as a gift (for some reason). Since then it has leaked out to the internet and is now considered a "legal bootleg", as Monty Python has spoken of its existence online since 1981, when it was first recorded.

Anyway, enough of that. Here's side one and here's side two (they're in .zip format)
