The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (also known as The Bonzo Dog Band) are a band created by a group of British art-school denizens of the 1960s. Combining elements of music hall, trad jazz, psychedelic rock, and avant-garde art, the Bonzos came to the attention of a broader British public through a 1968 ITV comedy show, Do Not Adjust Your Set.

• Vivian Stanshall (1943–1995): trumpet, lead vocals
• Neil Innes (b. 1944): piano, guitar, lead vocals
• Rodney “Rhino” Desborough Slater (b. 1944): saxophone
• Roger Ruskin Spear (b. 1943): tenor sax and various contraptions
• “Legs” Larry Smith (b. 1944): drums

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 track list slightly different from that of the UK version: the US version removed “I’m the Urban Spaceman” and added “Readymades” the B-side of their follow-up single “Mr. Apollo”.

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