Bonzo Dog Band - Colour Me Pop (speed-corrected) 12-21-68
























And here is the remainder of the URBAN SPACEMEN DO EXIST! boot, the Bonzos on UK TV's "Colour Me Pop." This recording always bugged me, and it comes from an off-line source (like a reel-to-reel recorder), but although I can't fix that, I did discover it ran pretty slow, with a 7% lag (no wonder!). Anyhow, I fixed all that now, and God bless the fellow who preserved it for us, because it supposedly no longer exists. However, a pristine "Canyons of Your Mind" popped up on the COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS disc, which I have substituted here. I went ahead and included full artwork for the USDE boot, since between this and the Amsterdam show I posted earlier, you'll have the whole thing.

1) We Are Normal
2) My Pink Half of the Drainpipe
3) Humanoid Boogie
4) Rhinocratic Oaths
5) Vivian Shnorbarstein Speaks
6) Rhinocratic Oaths - continued
7) A Lost Cause
8) Hello Mabel
9) Look At Me, I'm Wonderful
10) Canyons of Your Mind
11) I'm the Urban Spaceman
12) "Yarn to a Human Carpet" [Actually pretty close to the spoken parts from the released version of "Rhinocratic Oaths," but with backing music similar to "Boiled Ham Rhumba"...confused yet?]
13) Mr. Apollo
14) The Intro and the Outro

"...Corking fun to follow"
