The Instant Monty Python CD Collection is a box set released in 1994 of six CDs containing eight albums by the Monty Python troupe. It does not include the first Monty Python record, Monty Python's Flying Circus, whose rights are still owned by the BBC.
It contained a small booklet of reprinted material from album sleeves and previous Python books.
Track listing
For this release, each album was represented by two tracks, with each track corresponding to one side of the original vinyl pressings. For instance, the entire first half of Another Monty Python Record is the first track, while the entire second half is the second track. Due to each side of vinyl being roughly 20–30 minutes, and each CD able to hold up to 80 minutes, Monty Python's Previous Record and Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album were split across two discs.
In addition, sketches and songs were not indexed separately. Instead, the packaging made reference to what each album contained; for example, Another Monty Python Record was listed as "including The Spanish Inquisition, Gumby Theatre, Abattoir, Ethel the Frog, Be a Great Actor, Spam Song."[1] This set does not include "Farewell to John Denver", which was removed from some pressings of the Contractual Obligation album.
