Did you happen to record Monty Python’s Flying Circus when it was shown on PBS back in the 1970s?
Do you still have the tapes?
Is there a TIME LIFE logo at the end?
If so, please write to me. Thank you!

THE WORKS OF TINTO BRASS

Freedom and Eroticism—Continued

The Big Strip !

uptight9.”.Mama Oliver.eastwest
{the Shantel Remixes}
(1996)
45rpm vinyl

When I saw an ad for this Austrian album on the Internet, I felt sure it was a misprint. But I ordered it all the same and discovered that, no, it was not a misprint. So how did Brass come to be associated with this? Here’s a completely imaginary dialogue that opens at an imaginary nightclub in Rome:

TINTO BRASS: I’m impressed. Have you recorded your material?
MAMA OLIVER: Very little.
TINTO BRASS: Well, if you’d like, I could do a demo tape for you.
MAMA OLIVER: Really? That would be wonderful.
TINTO BRASS: Come on over to my house. I have a recording studio in the back.
Years later. A telephone call from Austria.
MAMA OLIVER: Tinto, we got an offer from a fly-by-night company called GiG to put “The Big Strip” on vinyl.
TINTO BRASS: That’s great!
MAMA OLIVER: We need to credit you. What shall we call your studio?
TINTO BRASS: Oh..., how about Burlesque Music?

On the other hand, Brass disclaims any knowledge of this album, and so maybe the credits are fake?
