Beast Of The BonzosBeast Of The Bonzos United Artists UAS-5517, 7/71 [UK: N/R] no unique tracks—hold out for the much better The History Of The Bonzos, 1974

Didn't Neil Innes make a documentary in 1978 about a rock group from Liverpool  ?? 

Broke-up after UK tour in spring 70. Forced to record album in 72, reformed in 1988 for single that wasn't released until 1992. Held 40th anniversary concert in Jan 2006 (minus Viv, who passed in 95).
