The Meaning of Life

Description

Monty Python’s ‘The Meaning of Life’ is the third and final soundtrack album by Monty Python, released in 1983 alongside their last film. Billed as ‘The only soundtrack album to be introduced by live fish! (apart from some copies of ‘Shane’)’, it consists of sketches and songs from the film, with a few links performed by Michael Palin and a brief appearance from Terry Gilliam. The album features dialogue which didn’t make it into the final cut of the film as well as additional sound effects to help with the audio medium. ‘The Adventures of Martin Luther’ sequence is introduced but does not appear. This repress is on red coloured vinyl.
