by this point the band had also decided to drop the 'doo-dah' from their name and now became officially known as, simply, the bonzo dog band. in june they released their new album "tadpoles". most of the songs on this album had already been performed by the group on "do not adjust your set", and indeed the album had originally been conceived as a kind of 'soundtrack album' for the recently ended tv show. as a result, much of the material was something of a throwback to the "gorilla" era musically, even though most of the songs (with the exception of a few vintage tracks that dated as far back as the 1966 parlophone sessions) had been re-recorded especially for the lp. also included was a version of the band's latest single, the almost proto-metallic "mr apollo". despite the album's rag-bag nature and the fact the band themselves didn't regard it as part of their discography proper, it would ironically prove to be their best-selling original lp.
