Monty Python's Tiny Black Round Thing was a flexidisc released to promote the original release of Monty Python Live at Drury Lane. It was given away free with the British music weekly paper NME (New Musical Express) during May 1974.

Contents

Side One

  1. Introduction from Head of New Musical Express (0:55)
  2. Election Night Special Part 1(6:38)
  3. Hair Spray Ad (0:51)

Side Two

  1. Reviews (0:59)
  2. Election Night Special Part 2/The Lumberjack Song (5:03)

The Introduction is an exclusive piece, with the Head of NME sounding a very close relation to Mr Gumby. Election Night Special is taken from the same recording used on the Live At Drury Lane LP, but is a longer edit than on that release.

This was reissued on heavyweight vinyl as part of Monty Python's Total Rubbish.
