''Let's Make Up And Be Friendly'' was the fifth and, until 2007, final original album by the Bonzo Dog Band. The group had already disbanded when United Artists Records (which absorbed the Bonzos' label Liberty Records) informed band members that the group owed the label one more album. This farewell album was the result. In 2007 the album was re-issued on CD by EMI with six bonus tracks. Some of these bonus tracks were not performed by the Bonzos, but were actually solo recordings by the members of the group. "Rawlinson End", the longest track (at 9:07) on any Bonzos album, features the first appearance of Vivian Stanshall's character Sir Henry Rawlinson, whose exploits would later be expanded as a series of BBC Radio 1 sessions for the John Peel show as Rawlinson End Radio Flashes; a Sir Henry at Rawlinson End (recording) LP in 1978 and in 1984 a semi-sequel Sir Henry at N'didi’s Kraal; a film Sir Henry at Rawlinson End (film) (1980) and accompanying book; and a final cameo appearance in a 1994 commercial for Ruddles Real Ale with Dawn French. This was their last album of new material featuring all original members until the band's reunion in 2006, by which time Vivian Stanshall was deceased. A new studio album, ''Pour l'Amour des Chiens'' (French for ''For the Love of Dogs''), was released on December 2007. The album was originally issued in vinyl and in 8-track format. There are a few differences between British and American versions: *"Rusty" * *UK: fades out at end * *US: does not fade out and continues on past where UK's ends *Track gaps * *The UK album has a longer time gap between "Waiting for the Wardrobe" and "Straight from My Heart", and between "Bad Blood" and "Slush", than does the US one. ==Sleeve Notes== ''Friendly'' is the only Bonzo Dog Band album to feature an image of the eponymous "Bonzo Dog". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Let's Make Up and Be Friendly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
