Sir Henry at Rawlinson End is a largely-spoken word, solo comedy recording by Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band member Vivian Stanshall. It had its origin in Vivian Stanshall's recordings for the John Peel Show on BBC Radio One in the mid 1970s, and a track on the Bonzo's 1972 album Let's Make Up and Be Friendly (United Artists UAS29288/Sunset SLS50418) by Neil Innes and Vivian Stanshall (which was also previewed on Peel's show in 1971, with Innes & Stanshall appearing under the name Freaks).

You, Sir, are a Whacko of the Highest Order. The sheer brilliance of your selections leaves me staggering, and I salute both you and you IMPECCABLE taste. Snurzle!
Words do not do this album justice, so mathematics will have to suffice. (Tolkein - elves) x Goon Show + orchestration by the bastard child of Welk and Barrett = Rawlinson/2.
well ok then,now we're talking....exactly what we're talking about is something of a..(dot dot dot)..Puzzle!!! snurzle indeed! and i'm sure the grand ol' ginger geezer is looking downward from his esteemed perch and wondering 'what is all this fuss about'. well, anyway, on behalf of lord snooty and his pals we thank you for the kind comments!
Crazy stuff & lots of fun.I still have this on vinyl.
Thanks for sharing.
