Men Opening Umbrellas Ahead

Men Opening Umbrellas Ahead is the 1974 debut solo album by the English musician, writer, poet and comedian Vivian Stanshall.

The initial LP pressing was deleted by Warner Bros. Records soon after release, having sold only the initial vinyl pressing of 5,000 copies. The album remained out of print for over 35 years.

In 2010, an unauthorized CD reissue was made available by Harkit Records. The CD featured notes by Dutch dada-ist Freek Kinkelaar and featured two bonus tracks not on the original LP: "Baba Tunde" and "Lakonga". The bonus tracks come from a rare 1974 Warner Bros. single.

Poppydisc Records released a properly authorized remastered edition, on LP and CD, on 21 May 2012. The remastered CD contains the two bonus tracks, while the vinyl version is the same as the original vinyl LP.

All songs written and arranged by Vivian Stanshall, except where noted:
