Today’s listening is ‘Teddy Boys Don’t Knit’, the 1981 album by Vivian Stanshall.

This is my favourite solo album of old Viv’s, comprising all songs and without any spoken word pieces a la ‘Sir Henry’.

The album features former Bonzo bandmates Neil Innes and Roger Ruskin Spear, Richard Thompson plays guitar on several tracks and even Rick Wakeman plays on one song. The musical backing is top notch!

My favourite track is ‘Possibly An Armchair & Fresh-Faced Boys’.
