The Bonzo Dog Band: Tadpoles (Liberty)
Mark Williams, International Times, 29 August 1969
LIBERTY RECORDS have gone to an almost unusual amount of trouble to supply record reviewers, deejays and other assorted irks with a copious, track-by-thrusting-track run down of this album, together with informative background details. This service is worth mentioning because honest detail and humour are usually absent from most of the record company bumf one is obliged to pore over. I have no qualms about borrowing from it occasionally in this review.
