Just read the blurb:

As one of the UK’s most beloved and unconventional bands, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band have delighted audiences for over 60 years with their distinctive blend of music, comedy, and surrealism.
Formed in the early 1960s by art students Vivian Stanshall and Rodney Slater, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band began as a jazz ensemble parodying the music of the 1920s and 30s before evolving into a pioneering force in rock and comedy. Their satirical songs and eclectic performances quickly made them a favourite on the London underground scene.

They gained national fame through appearances on the TV show “Do Not Adjust Your Set,” which also featured future members of Monty Python. Known for their hit “I’m the Urban Spaceman,” produced by Paul McCartney under the pseudonym Apollo C. Vermouth, the Bonzos left an indelible mark on the British music and comedy landscape.

This comprehensive 20-disc collection celebrates the complete works of the legendary Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and their impact on a generation of revered artists and comedians, from The Beatles to Monty Python. This set was seven years in the making and put together with band’s full co-operation.

It’s available from a few online retailers, but you aren’t likely to beat the price at Amazon.
