Sunset SLS 50350 - British reissue

Tadpoles is the third album by the Bonzo Dog Band. It is largely a compilation of their work from the television show Do Not Adjust Your Set, on which they were the house band. The US version of the album had a slightly different track list than the UK version. The US version removed "I'm the Urban Spaceman" and added the B-side "Readymades".

The UK version was reissued on vinyl by Sunset Records in the early 1970's, re-titled "I'm the Urban Spaceman".

In 2007 the album was reissued on CD with its original title and artwork, by EMI with five bonus tracks.

Sleeve notes

The original LP sleeve had seven holes cut out of the front cover, and multiple images printed on an insert card (or inner sleeve of the US version) helped listeners to visualize what band members were thinking by moving the card back and forth.
