OST — Monty Python’s Life Of Brian
Limited Edition LP on Yellow Vinyl
Originally released in 1979, Monty Python’s Life Of Brian contains scenes from the film interrupted by linking sections performed by Eric Idle and Graham Chapman. The album was banned in Ireland after Father Brian D’Arcy highlighted how it had worked its 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.”
Python’s take on the biblical epic focuses on Brian (Graham Chapman), mistaken for the messiah by a group of easily impressed locals. All the best bits from the movie are here, including the “Sermon on the Mount” (as misheard by “Mr. Big Nose”); the People’s Liberation Front of Judea (or is it the Judean People’s Liberation Front?); Brian’s impromptu preaching (“He’s making it up as he goes along!”), and the concluding song, “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” sung by the cast as they hang crucified. The album offers little apart from the clips from the film, except for some studio banter between a producer (Eric Idle) and a useless announcer (Graham Chapman). ~ Ted Mills
