Immediately after the demise of the Bonzos and long before he secured gainful employment with Rutland Weekend Television, Neil Innes made this little curio. Aided by former Bonzos sidekick Dennis Cowan, Innes showed that he was already in touch with his inner-Rutle, or at least his inner Badfinger, on “Angelina”and “Sail Away”. Unfortunately, as Innes himself indicates in the sleevenotes, the project was hastily conceived and executed and is characterised by too many undistinguished moments to make it an essential purchase for anyone other than Bonzos completists.
