- The Road To Unreason...
Not as some have said, the original version of 'Sir Henry at Rawlinson End' but by far and away the most concise. It's all you really wanted to know about Henry Rawlinson in an easy to swallow, beautifully performed hour.

And I've enjoyed this hour for what must amount to weeks in repeated plays. Even now, a word or phrase can suddenly shine out as a meaning or reference becomes clear. The narrative and songs are examples of Vivian at his very best and it comes as no surprise that this ... Read More

- Frightening but exquisite
I recently bought this album having read about Stanshall's friendship with Keith Moon. At first listen it is quite bizarre, but the exquisite rhythm of the prose rings through and with some great comic moments you're immediately tempted to listen again.

- Vivian Stanshall's poetic & witty masterpiece
This is Vivian Stanshall's crowning achievement - a poetic and brilliantly witty epic tale delivered in Viv's wonderful rich baritone voice with musical interludes. It features the decadent eccentric aristocrat, Sir Henry Rawlinson, along with his grotesque relatives and acquaintances inhabiting Rawlinson End, a stately pile "nestling in green nowhere" in the English countryside.
John Peel believed that Viv Stanshall was "on his day,the funniest man in Britain" and along with producer John Walters ... Read More

- Sublime
Does it get any better? If you like the Bonzos or Stanshall in general then this is a must. I dont think I have ever heard such exquisite wordplay, fine diction and off the wall humour in one place before.
