Neil Innes began his musical career with Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, with the early hit 'Urban Spaceman' topping the charts in 1968. The band featured in the innovative children's TV series 'Do Not Adjust Your Set' with such luminaries as Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam, and so began a long creative partnership with Monty Python, which would yield collaborative films, music and concert tours. With Eric Idle, Neil Innes co-instigated Rutland Weekend Television and thus the birth of The Rutles. This was parodied by NBC's Saturday Night live show, with Dan Ackroyd, John Belushi, Billy Murray, Mick Jagger and Paul Simon participating in the spoof of the Beatles story 'All You need Is Cash'. Neil wrote all the Rutles songs and was nominated for a Grammy for one of them in Hollywood. Known more for his comic take on music, after the split of the Bonzo Dog Band, Neil formed the more serious and progressive THE WORLD, also featuring Ian Wallace, who would later find fame as a member of King Crimson. The band released an album and a single, an appreciation of which are crucial to understanding the history of 70s British alternative rock. Very few people have ever had the privilege of hearing this album, so rare it. So it is with great pleasure that Vinyl Japan announce the release, for the first time on CD, of 'Lucky Planet', which also features the single track 'Angelina'. Please listen to this album while doing the SILLY WALK (as requested by Koji Wakui, Bonzo Dog Tokyo Doo Dah Band).
