after signing with the us-based liberty records label, the bonzos released their first album, "gorilla" (1967), produced by gerry bron. the lp included "jazz: delicious hot, disgusting cold" which parodied their early "trad" jazz roots and featured deliberately inept jazz playing. the record label had allowed them two hours of studio time per track, so "jazz" was completed in a single take to allow more time for the far more complex "the intro and the outro". in this number every member of the band was introduced and played a solo, starting with the genuine band members before including such improbable guest musicians as john wayne on xylophone, adolf hitler on vibes, j. arthur rank on gong, prime minister harold wilson on violin, the wild man of borneo, val doonican, horace batchelor, and lord snooty and his pals. the music was based on an excerpt from duke ellington's "c jam blues".
