[Dixielandjazz] Urban Spaceman

[Ed Danielson]

For some reason the tune "I'm the Urban Spaceman" popped into my head the 
other day.  It was done by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band back in the late 60s.  
I remembered them as a kind of "Monty Python meets Frank Zappa in a British 
music hall" oddball act.

I was genuinely surprised to find a very swinging version of the tune at 
this website:

Scroll down to the "audio" link.

Does anyone know anything about who's playing on this? ... maybe some of the 
British listmates?  The musicianship seems much better than I what remember 
from that band.

I'm also wondering about "The Temperance Seven," a band formed in the 50s 
that seems to still be active.  A recent album by them features liner notes 
by former Bonzo Dog member Neil Innes.

Thanks.
