Monty Python’s Life of Brian is the second soundtrack album by Monty Python, released in 1979 alongside the film of the same name. It contains scenes from the film interrupted by linking sections performed by Eric Idle and Graham Chapman, who also acted as producers following an aborted attempt at a soundtrack album by Michael Palin.[2] The album opens with a brief rendition of “Hava Nagila” on Scottish bagpipes, which had earlier been considered for use in a scene later cut from the film. In common with the controversy surrounding the film, the album was banned in Ireland after Father Brian D’Arcy highlighted how it had worked its way through a loophole in the country’s censorship laws, claiming “Anybody who buys the record and finds it funny must have something wrong with their mentality”.[5] Nevertheless, the album reached No.63 in the UK Albums Chart. This repress is on yellow vinyl
