The ones that lack here lack because they weren't included on "Monty Python Sings".
The CD did include a lot of until then rare gems though, as a lot of the songs from their movies were in there. Including lots of songs from "The Meaning Of Life" (which, as they mention in the special edition, was kind of a musical)

"traffic lights" and "muddy knees" are so worthless, I can't believe they thought those were worth recording and putting out
